H. L. Ramesh

Abstract :

The application of pesticide is severe in both developed and developing countries to their efforts to eradicate insect–borne, endemic diseases and to protect forests, plantation and fiber crops. The application of pesticides in agriculture has greatly improved the food production worldwide. Samples of fruits and vegetables subjected to residue analysis across the world exhibited the presence of pesticides in varying proportion. Average recoveries and RSD% of different insecticides for different fruit and vegetable and observed percent recoveries for OC, SP,OP and Carbamate respectively varied from 80–111%, 83–123%, 73–90% and 82–104% at different spiking levels. The major pesticides detected include acephate, chlorphyriphos, cyfluthrin–β, Cyfluthrin–λ, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, dichlorvos, fenvalerate, monocrotophos and carbafuran.
