Abstract

Seventy-five percent of India's economy depends on agriculture with statewide pesticide consumption of 0.5 kg/h. The highest pesticide consuming states are Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in between 0.8 to 2 kg/ha. Maharashtra is the topmost consumer of pesticides with over 23.5% share. Nagpur city (the present study area) of Maharashtra has high population density with intensive farming practices. Organochlorine and organophorous pesticide residues were measured in surface water collected from major lakes and rivers located in and around this city. A comparative study with previous records has also been discussed. Monitoring experiments conducted during pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons allowed the different samples to show their susceptibility for the above-mentioned pesticide residues.
