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.
