Description |
India has made a fairly good progress on the horticulture Map of the world with a total annual production of the horticulture crops to over 149 Million tonnes. India has been with wide range of climate and Physio-geographical conditions and as such is most suitable for growing various kinds of horticultural crops such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, nuts, spices and plantation crops. For the selected fruit crops like mango 25 exporting growers and progressive farmers from Dharwad, for grape 25 exporting growers and progressive farmers from Bijapur and for pomegranate 25 exporting growers and progressive farmers from Koppal and Bagalkot were selected for the study. The study area possesses most congenial soil, climate and geophysical conditions necessary for better performance of fruits. A random sample of farmers of each fruit crops in Dharwad, Bagalkote, Bijapur and koppal districts were selected and thus total sample size was 75. In order to analyze the pesticide residues of SPS chemical quality characteristics of mango, grapes and pomegranate were subjected to laboratory analysis. The analysis was carried out in the laboratory of the Shriram Institute for Industrial Research at Bangalore. There are 91 pesticides were carried out by using standardized protocols for residues of unknown pesticides for selected fruits crops. The major pesticides used by the sample farmers in selected fruit cultivation. It was found that the farmers used more dosage of pesticide than the recommended dosage. Among these chlorpyriphos pesticide residual content is found out above limit of quantification for mango (0.10 mg/kg), in case of grape fruit above limit quantification Hexaconazole (1.35 mg/kg), Carbendazim (0.02 mg/kg), Myclobutanil (0.02 mg/kg), Chlorpyriphos (0.10 mg/kg), Monocrotophos (0.04 mg/kg), Metalaxyl (0.04 mg/kg) and Tridimenol (0.02 mg/kg). but in case of pomegranate pesticide residual quantification limit was not found. Farmers could be advised to go for non-cash inputs like increasing the pest and disease resistant variety which directly maintains the sanitary and phytosanitary measures. Proper packaging materials like corrugated fiber boxes should so, as to reduce the extent of damage or contamination to the produce. |
