Dr. Jyoti Chandrashekhar Mane

Abstract: We all have entered into the new generation where all the developments and innovative are going on very rapidly, so in the field of agriculture use of fertiliser, pesticide etc. ie. Use of agro chemicals has made farmer agriculture a little easier. The use of these agrochemicals are harmful to the farmer himself as well as to the whole society who consumes the products cultivated by using such chemicals. The chemicals used during cultivations may not be in higher dose but consuming chemicals daily above the permissible limits may lead to cumulative toxicity/chronic toxicity. In order to bring down these chemicals to the permissible limits, thorough washing of these veggies, fruits should be carried out before consuming them. There are many alternative pesticides for chemical pesticides available, which are not known to the farmers. Educating them about the hazardous effect of these pesticides to themselves and to the society may keep farmer far from these pesticides.
