Analysis of Pesticide Residues from Water, Fruits, and Vegetables

Abstract

The aim of this study is to the Farmers around the world including India use pesticides as a preventive strategy against the possibility of a devastating crop loss from pests and diseases.  Pesticides are thus not only used in agriculture for the control and eradication of crop plagues in India for several decades, but in public health for the control of vectors of disease. Cocoa, coffee and cotton, vegetable, fruit and other cereal mixtures (mostly maize), tuber crops, legumes (e.g. cowpeas, beans), sugar cane, rice etc. are used in agricultural pesticides. are also used in cereal and fruit cultivation. In water bodies, especially underwater, pesticide contamination is becoming a serious problem. Several agencies have reported that pesticides are present in underground water in areas that are grown in agriculture. It can be because of direct exhaust, lixiviation, careless disposal of empty containers, washing machinery etc. to reach the aquatic environment. Rice grains are primarily contaminated with pesticides during field sprinkling and storage processes. In addition to few weeds like Echinocloa, rice is attacked primarily with insect pest and leaf folder, blast and blast diseases. This modern agricultural model has enabled an important increase in agricultural production but, through entering the food chains and polluting soil, air, soil and water, has also shown a negative impact on the entire ecosystem. Pesticide means any substance that, in the process of production, storage, transport, distribution and processing of food, agricultural goods or feed, may be administered for use by animals to control ecstoparasites, to prevent, destroy, attract, repel or control any pest, including unwanted species of plants or animals. The term includes materials intended to be used as a controlled plant growth regulator, defoliant, disinfectant, fruit thinning agent or substances used to protect the product from deterioration in storage and transportation before or after harvest. Normally, fertilizers, animal and plant nutrients, food additives and livestock medicines are not included. A number of old times have been recorded with pesticides and fertilizers, which suggest that the use of ecosystems is not a recent cultural feature.
