Present Status of Insecticides Use for The Cultivation of Brinjal in Kushtia Region, Bangladesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This study has been carried out to assess the present status of insecticides use for the cultivation of brinjal in Kushtia region. A total number of 240 brinjal growers were randomly selected and interviewed by structured questionnaires from December, 2014 to June, 2015. The data were collected with respect to their educational level, cultivating land, times and types of insecticides spray, and farmer’s consciousness about the excessive use of insecticides. Out of the 240 brinjal growers, 155 (64.58%) were illiterate and there were no brinjal growers have the education Bachelor or more. Around (0.0-0.20) acre of land was used by 18 (7.5%) brinjal growers for cultivation followed by (0.21-0.50) acre of land by 32 (13.33%) brinjal growers, (0.51-1.00) acre of land by 60 (25%) brinjal growers and more than 1 acre of land by 130 (54.16%) brinjal growers. Sixteen insecticides under different trade names were most commonly sprayed. Maximum brinjal growers were sprayed this insecticides more than 40 times during the period of whole cultivation. Most importantly, about 165 (68.75%) brinjal growers have knowledge while 75 (31.25%) brinjal growers have no knowledge about the negative effects of using excessive amounts of insecticides. The brinjal growers are randomly using same insecticides under different brand name. As a result, they could not protect early dropping of brinjal. In addition 80 (33.33%) brinjal growers are little conscious about side effect of insecticides and 160 (66.66%) brinjal growers are not conscious about side effect of insecticides. Most of the brinjal growers do not wear extra cloth and glass during spray. The main goal of this study was to assess the insecticide residues and to identify the health hazard of insecticides. Therefore, necessary actions should be taken immediately keeping in mind not only to reduce the early fall out of brinjal but also to produce safe brinjal for consumption.
