कीटनाशक का सिर्फ एक हिस्सा ही कीड़ों और रोगों को मारने का काम आता है, बाकि 99 फीसदी का बड़ा हिस्सा उस फल और अनाज में समा जाता है, जो खाने वालों को बीमार कर सकता है।

In his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, from the ramparts of the Red Fort, said the mother earth was being destroyed due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Post Green Revolution, to maximize the production of farms, tons of chemical fertilizers and pesticides were sprayed, which affected the quality of food, weather, biological diversity and disturbed the PH balance in the soil. The fertile land is now devoid of any nutrients. Due to use of heavy fertilizers, production level has gone down

In his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, from the ramparts of the Red Fort, said the mother earth was being destroyed due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers will have to make some drastic changes in the way they have been functioning.

Peppermint farmers in UP lose their cool as the rising heat brings more pests that threaten the cash crop

By Virendra Singh

India is the leading exporter of peppermint oil in the world, and Uttar Pradesh accounts for 85 per cent of the country's total acreage. Barabanki district alone cultivates 33 per cent of the state's total peppermint, a viable cash crop for the district.
