“…Our observed values of the residual DDE and BHC are comparatively lower than the earlier reports from India, which may be due to the restriction on use of these pesticides in agriculture. However the toxicological implication of the current findings denotes that there is still a practice of using these banned pesticides BHC and DDE (18).…”

“…The other reasons could be the horizontal position of the lamina of the leaves as well as the difference in surface area between leaves and other tissues of the plant (Raha et al, 1993;. However, at the termination of the experiment, endosulfan residue levels were about 3-10 times higher in fruits than in other tissues.…”

“…studied the occurrence and distribution of organochlorine pesticides in tomato crops from organic production and found that endosulfan, HCHs, and DDTs levels in the fruit (edible tissue) were significantly below the maximum residue limits considered by the Codigo Alimentario Argentino and the Codex Alimentarius. Raha et al (1993) measured residues of endosulfan, decamethrin, and fenvalerate in eggplant fruits at concentrations below the tolerance level of 2 mg/kg (for all three insecticides) as specified by FAO/WHO and the Central Insecticide Board of India, and found 0.95 µg/g endosulfan residues in pepper. Aguilera-del Real et al (1997) reported levels of endosulfan residues in peppers, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes as 0.16, 0.12, and 0.30 mg/kg, respectively.…”

“…Our study did not differentiate whether residues were situated on outer surfaces of plant tissues or were taken up into the tissues of the plant. However, several authors have reported endosulfan residues, including metabolites, in, on, or in and on tomato plant tissues (Aguilera-del Real et al, 1997;, as well as in, on, or in and on tissues of other plants and in soil (Bead and Ware, 1969;Stewart and Cairns, 1974;Chopra and Mahfouz, 1977;Martens, 1977;Singh et al, 1991;Raha et al, 1993;Kennedy et al, 2001).…”

It has largely been responsible for the "green revolution", i.e. the massive increase in food production obtained from the same surface of land with the help of mineral fertilisers (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), more efficient machinery and intensive irrigation. The use of pesticides helped to significantly reduce crop losses and to improve the yield of crops such as corn, maize, vegetables, potatoes and cotton. Notwithstanding the beneficial effects of pesticides, their adverse effects on environmental quality and human health have been well documented worldwide and constitute a major issue that gives rise to concerns at local, regional, national and global scales (Planas et al., 1997; Huber et al., 2000; Kidd et al., 2001; Cerejeira et al., 2003). Residues of pesticides contaminate soils and water, persist in the crops, enter the food chain, and finally are ingested by humans with foodstuffs and water. Furthermore, pesticides can be held responsible for contributing to biodiversity losses and deterioration of natural habitats (Sattler et al., 2006). There have been reported instances of pest resurgence, development of resistance to pesticides, secondary pest outbreaks and destruction of non-target species. Despite the fact that pesticides are also applied in other sectors, agriculture can undoubtedly be seen as the most important source of adverse effects (Hoyer and Kratz, 2001; cited in Sattler et al., 2006).The application of different pesticides varies with the region. For instance, in North Ameri...

“…Most investigations done efforts focused on the photochemistry and metabolism of deltamethrin in plants and animals. Limited information is available about the fate and movement of deltamethrin and its residues in soil, this is probably due to its extremely low solubility in water [19][20][21]. Chloropyrifos, a broad spectrum chemical, is the most extensively used organophosphate insecticide in agriculture [22].…”
