AB  - Pesticide residue monitoring was taken up at Kothapally and Enkepally villages of 
      Ranga Reddy district, Andhra Pradesh in food crops (rice, maize, pigeonpea), 
      vegetables (tomato and brinjal), cotton besides soil and water during 2008-2009 
      seasons. Of the 80 food crop and cotton samples, only two rice grain samples 
      (3 %) showed beta endosulfan residues and two (3 %) out of 80 soil samples of 
      food crops and cotton showed alpha and beta endosulfan residues. Out of 75 tomato 
      samples, 26 (35 %) were contaminated and 4 % had residues above maximum residue 
      limit (MRLs). Out of the 50 soil samples from tomato fields, 13 (26 %) contained 
      residues. Among the 80 brinjal samples, 46 (56 %) contained residues and 4 % of 
      samples had residues above MRLs. Only 13 % of the soil samples from brinjal 
      fields were contaminated. Water samples found free from residues. In general the 
      incidence of residues was below MRL in food crops.
