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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During the year 2014-15, under the central sector scheme, “Monitoring of

Pesticide Residues at National Level” sponsored by Department of

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

participating laboratories collected and analysed a total of 805 wheat

samples, out of which 17 samples showed the residues above MRL. Out of

FRUITS

The total number of 2239 fruit samples namely, apple, banana, pear, grapes,

orange, pomegranate, guava and mango were collected from the different

markets and analysed for the possible presence of pesticide residues.

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,

carbosulfan, cypermethrin, profenofos, quinalphos and metalaxyl. Center-

wise split-up table of fruits is provided in table 6. Yearly comparisons of

number of samples analysed and number of sample exceeding MRL is

SPICES

In 2014-15, 1299 spice samples were collected and analysed. A total of 597

curry leaves, 388 dry red chilli and 314 other spice samples such as

coriander seeds, cardamom, fennel, black pepper and cumin were collected

and analysed by 15 participating laboratories. In total, 821 spice samples

contained one or several pesticides in measurable concentrations. In 8.2 %

of the spice samples (107 samples), the residue concentration exceeded the

MRL. (Figure 7) Center-wise breakdown of monitoring data is compiled in

Table 7.

Cardamom samples were found having high number of above MRL pesticide

mainly quinalphos, cyhalothrin-L, profenofos, bifenthrin, triazofos and

cypermethrin. 732 spice samples were found having one or several residues

of non-approved pesticides. The commonly detected non-approved

pesticides were of ethion, azoxystrobin, tebuconazole, bifenthrin, cyhalothrin-

l, fenvalerate, cypermethrin and imidacloprid. Yearly comparison of number

of samples analysed and number of sample exceeding MRL is shown in

figure 8.

Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat

During 2014-15, the Anand Center had collected and analysed 1176

samples of vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat, pulses, spices, red chilli powder,

milk samples and water samples. Residues of one or several pesticides in

measurable concentration were found in 24.2 % of the samples; while in

4.6% of the samples, the residue concentrations exceeded the FSSAI MRL

(Figure 13). The commodity-wise breakdown of the sample analysed by

AAU, Anand is provided in Table 14. Table 15 given below is providing the

details of market sample which exceeded MRL.

AAU, Anand also collected and analysed 229 vegetable samples from

farm gate, from which measurable residues were detected in 81 samples;

while 9.2% of the samples exceeded MRL. (Table 16 & 17)

Sampling locations of Anand during the year were Dakor, Khambhat,

Ankleshwar, Anand, Baroda and Bharuch.

Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, West Bengal

In total 844 samples of vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat, fish/marine, red

chilli powder and tea were analysed. 187 samples contained detectable

residues; MRL exceedances were identified in 34 samples (4.0 % samples

analysed). (Figure 14) Chlorpyrifos, cyhalothrin-l, carbendazim, imidacloprid

and phorate were the pesticides which exceeded the MRL. The commodity-

wise breakdown of the sample analysed by BCKV, Kalyani is provided in

Table 18. Table 19 given below is providing the details of market sample

which exceeded MRL.

The Kalyani center analysed 82 vegetable farm-gate samples, from

which residues were detected in 14 samples; while MRL exceedance were

found in 3 samples. 31 organic samples were also collected and it was found

that 9 samples had measurable residue; from which only one sample showed

MRL exceedance. (Table 20 & 21)

The sampling locations of Kalyani center during the year were

Kolkata, Howrah, and 24-Parganas (s).

The majority of the MRL exceedance (5.5 %) was found in cardamom

(spice) samples. The pesticide residues which was most frequently found

above MRL in cardamom was quinalphos. The concentrations of

imidacloprid, cyhalothrin-l and chlorpyrifos were found exceeding FSSAI

MRL in the samples of vegetables, fruits and rice. The commodity-wise

breakdown of the sample analysed by KAU, Kalyani is provided in Table 38.

Table 39 given below is providing the details of market sample which

exceeded MRL.

A total of 131 farm-gate samples were collected and analysed; 27.5 %

of the samples were detected with the pesticide residues and 4.6% of

samples were found above MRL. Organic samples (30) were also collected

from various organic outlets and no sample was found exceeding MRL.

(Table 40 & 41)

The samples were collected from Thiruvananthpuram, Kottayam,

Palakkad, Ernakulam, Kollam and Kasaragod.

Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University,

Hyderabad

Overall, 1016 samples were collected and analysed by the Hyderabad

center from retail outlets; 31.8 % of the samples had measurable pesticide

residues. The maximum number of detection was found in vegetable

samples followed by curry leaves, fruits, rice, pulses and wheat. 5.1 % of the
