कृ षि एवं ककसान कल्याण मंत्री (SHRI ARJUN MUNDA)

- (a)  to  (c):    The  Registration  Committee  (RC),  constituted  under  section  5  of  the Insecticides Act, 1968 (the Act) while registering the pesticides for use in the country evaluates  their  safety  and  efficacy  based  on  the  field  trials  conducted  at  State Agriculture Universities/ICAR institutes and lab studies conducted at NABL /ISO:17025/  and  GLP  accredited  laboratories.  Based  on  the  studies,  Registration Committee approves the details of doses, crops, precautionary measures, antidotes etc on Label and Leaflets. The registered pesticides if used as per Label and Leaflets do not pose any harm to human beings, animals, environment and living organisms other than pests.

Further,  there  is  no  harmful  effect  of  fertilizers  on  soil  fertility,  if  applied  in  a balanced  and  judicious  manner.  Government  is  recommending  soil  test  based balanced  and  integrated  nutrient  management  through  conjunctive  use  of  both inorganic and organic sources of plant nutrients to reduce use of chemical fertilizers. Split  application,  use  of  slow  releasing  fertilizers  including  neem  coated  urea  and growing  leguminous  crops,  use  of  Bio-fertiliser  and  Organic  Fertiliser  as  alternate source of nutrients are also advocated.

(d):  Ministry  of  Agriculture  and  Farmers  Welfare  through  its  Krishi  Vigyan  Kendras (KVKs), ICAR and 36 Central Integrated Pest Management Centers (CIPMCs) located in  28  States  and  2  UTs,  etc  conduct  various  training  programmes  such  as  Farmers Field  Schools  (Annexure-I),  two/five  days  HRD  programmers  (Annexure-II),  Kisan Goshthis,  IPM  Exhibitions  and  Seed  Treatment  Campaigns  (Annexure-III),  where awareness is created amongst farmers, pesticide dealers/State agriculture functionaries on use of bio pesticides, bio control agents and botanical formulations as an alternative to chemical pesticides and judicious use of chemical pesticides as last resort  in  accordance  to  the  dose  and  label  claim  instructions  as  approved  by  RC. Moreover,  CIPMC's  bio-control  laboratories  produce  various  bio-pesticides  and  biocontrol  agents  and  release  them  in  field  for  management  of  various  pests  and pathogens. Further, Government of India has taken various steps to promote the use of bio pesticides like simplified guidelines for the registration of bio pesticides, grant of provisional registrations under Section 9(3B) of the Act along with the permission for commercialization during the provisional  registration.  ICAR has  developed  improved and efficient strains of bio-fertilizers specific to different crops and soil types.

Furthermore,  Government  of  India  is  also  implementing  various  schemes  in order to promote the use of organic fertilizers by the farmers like

- i) Market Development Assistance (MDA) to Compressed Bio Gas Plants for sale of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)/Liquid Fermented Organic Manure (LFOM) & Phosphate Rich Organic Manure (PROM).
2. ii) PM  Programme  for  Restoration,  Awareness  Generation,  Nourishment and Amelioration of Mother-Earth (PM-PRANAM)
3. iii) Parampragat  Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (PKVY)  and  Mission  Organic  Value Chain development in North East Region (MOVCDNER)
