Agricultural Chemicals
One of the major input for agriculture is use of various pesticides, like insecticides, weedicides, fungicides, rodenticides etc. As the cropping pattern becomes more intensive, use of these pesticides also increases. Consumption pattern of pesticides in India is also very different. In India insecticide account for 76% of the total domestic market while herbicides & fungicides have a significantly higher share in the global market. There are wide ranges of regional variations in pesticide consumption in the country. The major causes of concern in this respect are bio -accumulation of pesticides and the negative health consequences it poses. In this regard a sound knowledge of the pesticide, its formulation and possible side effects are important for farmers before administering them in their fields.
