1.2 Summary of the Industry Pesticides are the special category of toxic agro-chemicals used to control pests, insects rodents, fungus,herbs etc. The following categories of pesticides are produced and used in the country:(i) Insecticides (ii) Fungicides (iii) Herbicides (iv) Rodenticides (v) Weedicides (vi) Fumigants (vii) Nematocides (viii) Plant Growth Regulators

Pesticides are manufactured first as technical grade chemicals having higher commercial purity. These are not used as such and the successful use to control harmful insects, mites, micro-organisms and weeds

depends to a large degree on their formulation and the conditions under which the chemical compound is brought into contact with the pests, vectors, diseases, stored product pests and the unwanted plants. Technical grade pesticides are used in various types of formulations suitable for application under technical divisions.In India presence of more than 40,000 different types of insects has been recorded and of these about 1000 have been listed as potential pests of economic plants, 500 pests have caused serious damage at some time or the other and 70 have been causing damage more often. Therefore, pesticides have been recognized in India as essential in increasing agricultural production by preventing crop losses before and after harvesting. Insecticides also play an important role in combating insect borne diseases. India is one of the largest generic pesticide manufacturers in the world with more than 60 technical grade pesticides being manufactured indigenously by 125 producers consisting of large and medium scale enterprises (including about 10 multinational companies) and more than 500 pesticide formulators spread all over the country.

1.3 History Of Pesticides:

Since before 500 BC, humans have used pesticides to prevent damage to their crops. The first known pesticide was sulfur. By the 15th century, toxic chemicals such as arsenic, mercury and lead were being applied to crops to kill pests. In the 17th century, nicotine sulfate was extracted from tobacco leaves for use as an insecticide. The 19th century saw the introduction of two more natural pesticides, pyrethrum which is derived from chrysanthemums, and rotenone which is derived from the roots of tropical vegetables. In 1939, Paul Muller discovered that DDT was a very effective insecticide. It quickly became the most widely-used pesticide in the world. However, in the 1960s, it was discovered that

DDT was preventing many fish-eating birds from reproducing which was a huge threat to biodiversity. DDT is now banned in at least 86 countries, but it is still used in some developing nations to prevent malaria and other tropical diseases by killing mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects.

1.4 Indian Pesticides Industry India is 13th largest exporter of pesticides. Pesticides sector in India is being governed by two Ministries.Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilisers promotes the production of chemicals including pesticides whereas the role of Ministry of Agriculture is to regulate,register and monitor the quality and supply of pesticides in the country. In India presence of more than 40,000 different types of insects has been recorded and of these about 1000 have been listed as potential pests of economic plant, 500 pests have caused serious damage at some time or the other and 70 have been causing damage more often. Therefore, pesticides have been recognized in India as essential in increasing agricultural production by preventing crop losses before and after harvesting. Insecticides also play an important role in combating insect borne diseases.India is one of the most dynamic generic pesticide manufacturers in the world with more than 60 technical grade pesticides being manufactured indigenously by 125 producers consisting of large and medium scale enterprises (including about 10 multinational companies) and more than 500 pesticide formulators spread all over the country.

1.5 Consumption Pattern Of Pesticides In India The consumption pattern of pesticides largely depends upon the pest-disease/weed problem in specific regions or specific crops. Based on the likely incidence of such pests/diseases during Kharif/Rabi, the State Governments make an assessment of the requirement of various pesticides. There is a marked difference in the consumption pattern of agro-chemicals in India vis--vis the rest of the world. Insecticides account for more than 70% of the total domestic market. On the other hand, herbicides and fungicides have a significantly higher share of the global market. The reasons for significantly lower usage of herbicides and fungicides in India are two fold. First, weeding in India is done manually and second, the tropical climate is more conducive for the growth of insects as compared to herbs/fungi. India of one of lowest user of pesticides in world.
