Okra is the major crop grown all over India. India is the largest producer of okra in the world with the largest productivity. The crop is susceptible to a wide range of sucking pests hence there is an indiscriminate usage of pesticide on okra. A detailed survey was conducted to analyze the pest and pesticide status of okra growing farmers of Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi districts. The survey reported that the higher number of farmers was found to use imidacloprid SL for the management of sucking pests on okra. Different decontamination studies were carried out to evaluate a suitable decontamination method for the imidacloprid residues on okra. | Evaluation of different decontamination studies of imidacloprid SL on Okra
