Determination of Pesticide Residues in curry leaf in different markets of Andhra pradesh and Telangana, India



Priyadarshini G , Shashi Vemuri , Narendra Reddy C., Swarupa rani S



Studies were conducted for determining the residues of
commonly used pesticides in curry leaf samples collected every month
from different markets of AP and Telangana India during 2014 and 2015.
Samples collected from eight selected markets every month were analysed
using QuEChERS method on LC-MS/MS.During 2014, only in the December
month all the market samples contained pesticide residues whereas in the
November month there were no pesticide residues from all the eight
markets. During 2015, in April and December months, all the market
samples showed pesticide residues, whereas in November month only two
market samples had pesticide residues The most commonly detected
pesticide residues were of Profenophos, Ethion, Cyfluthrin, Bifenthrin,
Chlorpyriphos, Triazophos, Phorate,Methyl-parathion, cypermethrin,
Fenpropathrin, Monocrotophos, Acetamaprid, Methamidophos, Acephate,
Allethrin, alpha cypermethrin, Fipronil, Carbendazim, Deltamethrin,
Malathion, quinalphos etc indicating that, curry leaf samples contained
detectable level of the pesticides residues for which Maximum Residue
Limits (MRL) are not fixed. As there are no MRLs for curry leaves, it
should be considered as most important to fix MRLs to ensure food
safety and consumer health and to create awareness among the farmers
about the application dose, method of application and Pre Harvest
Intervals.The mismanagement or non-availability of proper information
about the pesticide application can lead to contamination of pesticide
residues in curry leaf. The findings of this study provided important
data about contamination of pesticide residues in curry leaf sold in
different local markets of AP and Telangana states and hence, it is
essential to conduct monitoring studies in other curry leaf growing agro
climatic regions, which may serve as basis for future policy about the
standards and quality control of pesticides.

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
