INTRODUCTION
The Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare, Ministry of
Agriculture & Farmers Welfare had started a central sector scheme,
“Monitoring of Pesticide Residues at National Level” in food commodities
and environmental samples during 2005-06 with the participation of various
laboratories representing Ministry of Agriculture, Indian Council of Agriculture
Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Environment
and Forest, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of
Chemical and Fertilizer, Ministry of Commerce and State Agricultural
Universities across the country.
The main objectives of the scheme include:
To identify crops and regions having preponderance of pesticide
residues in order to focus extension efforts for Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) and Good Agriculture Practices (GAP)
To strengthen infrastructure at Quarantine stations to prevent entry of
food and food commodities which have pesticide residues above
maximum residue limit (MRL)
Testing / Certification of pesticide residue in export / import
consignments
To test pesticide residues and other contaminants in food
commodities and environmental samples like soil and water
The present report provides a summary of the results of monitoring of
pesticide residues in various food commodities and environmental samples
collected and analysed during the year 2014-15 by the 25 participating
laboratories.

IMPLEMENTATION
The central sector scheme is monitored by two committees, namely, Steering
Committee and Technical Committee. The policy decisions related to the
scheme are under the preview of the Steering Committee headed by the
Joint Secretary (Plant Protection), Department of Agriculture, Cooperation &
Farmers Welfare and the Technical Committee, headed by the Assistant
Director General (Plant Protection), Indian Council of Agriculture Research
(ICAR) related to the technical issues. The Project Coordinating Cell of AINP
on Pesticide Residues is the nodal center for implementation of the scheme.
The Network Coordinator, All India Network Project on Pesticide Residues,
IARI, New Delhi is the Member Secretary of the scheme and is the nodal
person for the day to day implementation of the scheme related to financial
and technical matters and submission of monthly report, annual report and
need based information to the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation &
Farmers Welfare.
As per the approved technical programme during the annual workshop of the
scheme, the participating laboratories are collecting food commodities such
as vegetables, fruits, cereals, pulses, spices, curry leaves, red chilli powder,
milk, egg, fish/marine, meat, tea from various Agriculture Produce Marketing
Committee (APMC) markets, local markets, farm gate, organic outlets and
Public Distribution Systems (PDS) and surface water from intensive
agricultural fields from various parts of the country and analyzed for the
possible presence of pesticide residues. In order to ensure the uniformity in
the methodology like sampling, extraction and cleanup of the samples, the
“Pesticide Residue Analysis Manual” reviewed and published by the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research, has been provided and followed by all the
participating laboratories. In addition to this, need based new analytical
methods are developed, validated and adopted by the laboratories.

Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture &
Farmers Welfare, samples of vegetables, fruits, spices, red chilli powder,
curry leaves, rice, wheat, pulses, fish/marine, meat and egg, tea, milk and
surface water were collected from the various markets such as retail outlets
and agricultural produce marketing committee (APMC) markets, farm gate
and organic outlets located at different parts of the country and analysed by
25 participating laboratories for the possible presence of groups of pesticide
residues such as organo-chlorine, organo-phosphorous, synthetic
pyrethroids, carbamates, herbicides.
Out of 20,618 samples analysed; no residues were detected in 16,761
samples (81.3%); residues were detected in 3,857 (18.7%) and residues
above MRL in 543 samples (2.6%) as prescribed by FSSAI. Residues of
non-approved pesticides were detected in 12.5 % of the samples.
A total of 8,342 vegetable samples collected from the various retail
and agricultural produce marketing committee (APMC) markets and analysed
by, comprising samples of brinjal, okra, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, green
chilli, capsicum, cucumber, green pea, bitter gourd and coriander leaves
were analysed by participating laboratories; 229 samples (2.7%) were found
exceeding MRL. Vegetable samples were also collected from farm-gate
(1846) and organic outlets (405); 69 farm-gate samples (3.7 %) and 8
organic samples (2.0 %) were found exceeding MRL. Out of 2239 fruit
samples analysed, 40 (1.8 %) samples were found exceeding MRL. Thirteen

Overall, 81.1% of the samples tested were free of detectable residues. While
18.8 % of the samples analysed contained measurable residues from which
1.8 % of samples (40 samples) contained residues above FSSAI MRL
(Figure 5). The samples of grapes, pomegranate and apple were commonly
found above MRL with the residues of chlorpyrifos, imidacloprid, cyhalothrin-
l, buprofezin, metalaxyl and difenoconazole. 225 fruit samples were detected
with the residues of non-approved pesticides such as Acephate, acetamiprid,

CEREALS
A total of 1881 cereal samples (1076 rice samples and 805 wheat samples)
were collected and analysed by 15 laboratories for the possible presence of
pesticide residues. Yearly comparison of number of samples analysed and
number of sample exceeding MRL is shown in figure 11.
Rice samples: In total, 152 rice samples (14.1%) out 1076 samples were
found with measurable residues and the MRL exceeded in 6.3 % rice
samples (Figure 9). Mostly the exceeded MRL were of quinalphos,
chlorpyrifos, ethion, acephate and imidacloprid. 30 rice samples were found
having one or several non-approved pesticides residues of profenophos,
metalaxyl and hexaconazole. The center-wise monitoring details of rice
sample is provided in Table 8.

During the year 2014-15, Bangalore center had collected and analysed 796
samples; 74.1 % of the samples were free of detectable residues while 25.9
% of the samples analysed contained measurable residues. 2.8 % of all the
samples exceeded the MRL (Figure 16). The commonly detected pesticide
residues which were found above MRL were chlorpyrifos and ethion. The
commodity-wise breakdown of the sample analysed by IIHR, Bangalore is
provided in Table 27. Table 28 given below is providing the details of market
sample which exceeded MRL.
Along with the market samples Bangalore center also collected and
analysed samples from farm-gate (73) and organic retail outlet (20). In 18
farm-gate samples (24.7%), the measurable residues were detected and one
sample was found above MRL. While, 3 organic samples (15.0 %) were
detected with pesticides residues and none of them was exceeding MRL.
(Table 29 & 30)
The Bangalore center collected the samples from K.R.Market, Hosur,
Mandya, Yeshwanthapura, Malleshwaram, Dasarahalli, Hessaraghatta,
