India ranks twelfth in the world for the use of pesticides. Exposure to pesticides causes tremendous health effects in people as well as in the environment. But the effect can be controlled when it is handled properly. The baseline survey was conducted to know the awareness status of the farmer, the hazardous effect faced, and the culprit spray responsible for mishaps. The various districts of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and the Union territory, Puducherry were under the survey area. The chi-square value (32.9938) suggests that there is a strong bearing between the awareness status of the farmer and the farmers undertaking safety measures. The toxicity information provided by the cide-seller is negatively correlated with farmers undertaking safety measures (r= -0.0382). There is no association was found between pre-incidence health issues and causalities (chi-square value= 151.9). The five culprit sprays such as Methoxychlor, Profenofos, Glyphosate, Diafenthiuron and Imidacloprid were selected for further study. These chemicals were docked against the target proteins. The target protein can be blended on the mask to trap the culprit spray. This would prevent the entry of pesticides into the respiratory tract of farmers and thereby prevent the mishaps.

Pesticides are applied in agricultural fields for controlling pest population to achieve crop protection. But they cause damage to nontarget organisms and affect the quality of environment including water, air and soil. The present study has been designed to test the efficiency of Pseudomonas stutzerion the degradation of malathion. The bacterial strain was subjected to 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm of malathion in minimal broth for 30 hours and changes in orthophosphate levels, pH and turbidity were monitored for every six hours. Efficiency of free and immobilized cells were compared for orthophosphate release. Influence of different sugars on degradation was also compared. Degradation of 150 ppm of malathion was confirmed with UV-Visible spectrophotometric analysis and HPLC analysis. The data were subjected to two way analysis of variance and the results are discussed.

“…O modo de ação dos pesticidas pode ser classificado como sistêmico ou não sistêmico. Os pesticidas de contato sistêmico necessitam ser absorvidos pelas plantas ou animais, para que ocorra uma translocação até o objeto alvo, ou seja, os herbicidas sistêmicos penetram na planta pelas raízes, atingindo os caules, folhas e frutos, ou seja, ocorre a penetração efetiva nos tecidos da planta e passando pelo sistema vascular para matar as pragas alvo (ABUBAKAR et al, 2019).…”

“…O pesticida é absorvido pelas pragas através de sua epiderme durante o contato, resultando em morte por envenenamento. De acordo com Abubakar (2019) esses pesticidas não devem necessariamente serem absorvidos pela planta e, consequentemente, não devem ser transportados através do sistema vascular da planta.…”
