“…Pesticide residues have been detected at the point of application in paddy fields and as a result of spray drift from aerial spraying, runoff from rain, and drainage of paddy water, waterways have also been contaminated. Several articles reporting the levels of pesticide residues in the waterways of Asian countries have been published [8][9][10][11][12]. Examples of the amounts of organochlorine (OC) pesticide residues in the paddy fields of several Asian countries are given in Table 1.…”

Abstract-In tropical countries rice has been identified as one of the crops that is particularly susceptible to the negative impacts of pesticide use. In addition to the physicochemical nature of the pesticide, tropical climatic conditions and agricultural practices play important roles in determining the fate and distribution of pesticides in the tropical paddy field ecosystem. The assessment of ecotoxicological effects of pesticides in the tropical paddy field ecosystem has been based primarily on acute lethality tests conducted on fish species commonly found in paddy fields. The effects of pesticides in the paddy field ecosystem on other nontarget organisms ranging from microalgae and cyanobacteria to paddy field crabs have also been investigated, although such studies are limited. As a means to promote a more judicious use of pesticides in the paddy field, the adoption of integrated pest management strategies have resulted in varying degrees of success. The most widely accepted form of control measure is the integration of multiresistant cultivars with reduced use of pesticides. Effective training of the paddy farmer has been identified as the key to successful implementation of integrated pest management strategies.

“…About 25,479 tons formulated products were used in 2005 compared with 15,906 tons in 2001 and 18,090 tons in 2003 (Rahman 2007). Chemical fertilizers and pesticides have contributed significantly to improve yields of crops, increasing the production of food grains from 9.7 million mt in 1961 to about 20 million mt in 1993 (Matin 1995). Use of pesticides has to be controlled to avoid contamination of food supplies and ecological imbalance, but present measures in Bangladesh are inadequate and farmers rarely implement standards (Matin et al 1998).…”
