Abstract

Ninety six farmgate vegetable samples namely cauliflower (23), brinjal (30), okra (12), cabbage (6) and tomato (25) when analysed for residues of insecticide last applied to the crop revealed that about 67% of the samples were contaminated and only 7% of these contained residues above respective MRLs Sixty nine vegetable samples were also analysed for the presence of DDT and HCH which are ubiquitously known to be present in the environment. Thirty five and 71% samples were contaminated with DDT and HCH respectively.
