India is the fruit and vegetable basket of the world. India is the second largest producer of vegetables that accounts about 16 per cent of the world production. India has been with wide range of climate and physio-geographical conditions and as such is most suitable for growing various kinds of horticulture crops such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, nuts, spices and plantation crops. There are four vegetable crops viz., cabbage, beans and carrot from Belgaum district and onion from Dharwad district were selected for the study area. A total random sample of 25 farmers of each vegetable crops, there total sample size is 100. The selection of the districts were based on the highest area under vegetable crops, among the eight districts of north Karnataka. In order to analyze to pesticide residues of cabbage, beans, carrot and onion were subject 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 vegetable crops, among these carbon disulfide pesticide residual content is found out above limit of quantification for onion (0.35 mg/kg), cabbage (0.13 mg/kg) and carrot (0.11 mg/kg) but actual limit of quantification for onion, cabbage and carrot is 0.1 mg/kg. Similarly for beans the residue unknown pesticides were found to be below detectable level for all 91 pesticides. It was found that the farmers used more dosage of pesticide that the recommended dosage. Farmers could be advised to go for non-cash inputs like increasing the pest and disease resistant varieties sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures. Proper packaging materials like corrugated fibre boxes should be used so as to reduce the extent of damage or contamination to the produce |
