“…The cotton growers mostly rely on synthetic insecticides to manage the sucking insect pests. The insecticide bifenthrin (Talstar) is a synthetic pyrethroid having contact and stomach toxicity (Mukherjee et al 2010). Previously, it has been reported that this insecticide is very effective against different insect pests in cotton, vegetables, fruits, and in public health for the control of mosquitoes (Reddy and Rao 2002;Gupta et al 2009).…”

Several plant species and their compounds are well-known to have some pesticidal properties against a wide range of insect pests. Potential of two water plant extracts, Azadirachta indica A. Juss and Melia azedarach L., in comparison with the synthetic pyrethroid bifenthrin against sucking insect pests and their associated predators, as well on the yield in Bt cotton, was evaluated. The population of the sucking insect pests was found lowest in the positive control (only bifenthrin application). The A. indica extract reduced the pest population equivalent to the positive control, but the highest populations were observed in both negative controls (only water and 0.1% soap with water application). The M. azedarach did not show any harmful effect on the insect population. The predators' abundance was higher in the plots where botanicals were applied, while the lowest population was observed in the bifenthrin treatment. In comparison to the negative control (only water application), (63.4%) cotton yield was increased by the application of A. indica and (58.8%) by the application of the synthetic insecticide. Using plant extracts of A. indica to control sucking insect pests of cotton can be as effective as synthetic insecticides in terms of crop yield beside they are safer for natural enemies in the field.

“…PAH Phenantherene was found to be absent in all the samples as chromatogram of Phenantherene showed no similar to any of the vegetable, fruit, soil or wastewater sample. The environmental fate of a pesticide is chiefly dependent on chemical properties it possessed (Mukherjee et al, 2010).…”

Nowadays agriculture represents most important economic activity. Agricultural pesticides that are deliberately used to escalate crop yield unfortunately are endowed with many latent and insidious adverse effects. Pesticides and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons are identified worldwide as toxic environmental pollutants that persist in the environment and bioaccumulates in the food chain. This study was thus designed for the analysis of pesticide residues and Polyaromatic hydrocarbons in fruits and vegetables, water and soil. This work was done with the objective to develop an analytical method for selectively and sensitively detecting pesticides and polyaromatic hydrocarbons in different environmental matrices. For this purpose samples of selected fruits, vegetables, soil and water collected from agricultural land were analyzed to determine the residues of selected organochlorine pesticides (Bifenthrin, Imidacloprid, Difenoconazole) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Anthracene , Phenanthrene) by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. The selected method beautifully allowed the qualitative and quantitative determination of Pesticides and Polyaromatic hydrocarbons in selected samples. Results of study revealed the presence of Anthracene in a concentration ranges from 0.0655-31.632mg/kg, Difenoconazole in concentration ranges from 0.03-18.604mg/kg and Bifenthrin in concentration ranges from 0.024-11.74 mg/kg in different study samples which were exceeding maximum residue limits (MRL) set by Codex Alimentarius Commission.
