BACKGROUND
The huge gap between present vegetable production and future
requirement necessitates higher production to meet future demand of
vegetables. Insect pest and diseases are one of the major constraints in
realizing yield potential of vegetables in India. Several novel
technologies have been developed in the field of crop protection owing
to the intensive research and development for sustainable management
of pest and diseases in vegetables. Application of pesticides is one of
the technologies widely accepted because of its quick and effective
means of pest controlling. The misuse and overuse of pesticides due to
lack of awareness and information has led to the contamination of food
and environment. Pesticide residue as a contaminant is of serious
concern and need special attention as it affect not only the health and
environment but trade also. However, we can avoid pesticide residue in
foods and its harmful effects by following proper instruction, rules and
regulation of pesticide application. So, it is necessary to make aware of
proper techniques and methods of pesticide application and to manage
the residue starting from the field itself as well as other ecofriendly
methods of pest control so as to manage pesticide residues to
acceptable level in vegetable commodities.
Therefore, this Model Training Course of eight days duration on
Pesticide: Application Technology & Residue Management in
Vegetable Crops have been designed with the financial assistance
provided by Directorate of Extension, Department of Agriculture &
Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, New Delhi to
train the state agricultural officials and functionaries about the insight
of advance techniques of pesticide application and hence managing
pesticide residues to acceptable level.
