[b] Insecticide Residues in Abelmoscous esculantus(Lady’s fingers) Crop Grown in Treated Soil[/b]
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
[i] The pesticides, which leave residues in the soil for a fairly long time, are easily translocated in plants to contaminate their edible portions significantly. This results in constant exposure to humans and animals to pesticides and contamination of their flesh, blood, milk and meat. These situations have threatened nature’s ecosystem seriously. This investigations on different concentrations of organochlorine insecticides (lindane, aldrine) & organophosphorous insecticide (Monocrotophos) with respect to a major tropical vegetable crop of Aabelmoschus esculantus (Lady’s finger or OKRA) under similar conditions have been the pivotal text of this paper and were performed by pot culture analysis and Thin Layer Chromatography (T.L.C.) techniques. The results showed that at very high levels of pesticides and its constant exposure disturbs soil eco balance irreversibly.[/i]
