The Insecticides Act, 1968
Pesticide is a vital input for increasing the crop production in Punjab. Approximately 6400 M.T.

Efforts are being made to reduce the indiscriminate use of Insecticides on crops. The excessive use of
pesticides has caused the following problems:

ii. Water Pollution
iii. Air Pollution
iv. Degradation of quality of produce
To check the excessive use of pesticides the following steps are being taken:
a) the farmers are stressed upon to use only need based pesticides through various
means viz. farmers Training Camps, Seminar, Press, Radio and T.V. even
personal contacts.
b) Integrated pest management programme (IPM) is being implemented in the state
especially on Cotton and paddy crop to achieve the following objectives:
i. To maximize crop production with minimum cost
ii. To minimize environmental pollution due to pesticide
iii. To save the friendly insects.

and vegetables and even in fodder beyond the permissible limit which results in health hazards both for

fruits, vegetables and even fodder in the market immediately after spraying. There should be at least 8 to 10
