The Insecticides Act, 1968

Pesticide is a vital input for increasing the crop production in Punjab. Approximately 6400 M.T.

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

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
