In agricultural pest management, botanical pesticides are most suitable for use in organic food (agricultural) production due to their safety to humans and the environment compared to conventional pesticides. Compounds of plant origin can be highly effective, with diverse and multiple mechanisms of action, and with low toxicity towards non-target organisms.

The results indicated that the vegetation set achieved 90% of Imidacloprid removal efficiency while the control set (only soil media) removed Imidacloprid at a range between 64.9 to 65.9%. Furthermore, the vegetation set with additives also resulted in the increment of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) with about 16% and pH increment between 2 to 11% for all treatment train sets with a better water quality improvement.

Organic agricultural production has been taking place in many countries around the world with a strong shift from traditional agriculture to sustainable agriculture in order to create high-value agricultural products with food safety, environmental protection and climate change adaptation. Organic agricultural production is considered as the natural farming with strict control of irrigation water, unpolluted soil and no use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, growth stimulants and plant varieties, livestock and materials derived from genetically modified organisms.

The present study was undertaken to assess the genetic diversity in microbial populations of pesticidecontaminated arid agricultural soil vis-a-vis uncontaminated or pristine soil of Jodhpur district of western Rajasthan. In a parallel study, we also analyzed the presence of naphthalene degraders by amplification of nahA component of naphthalene dioxygenase gene coding for Naphthalene 1, 2- dioxygenase reductase (Ferrero et al., 2002) in the contaminated soil sample.

The modern intensive Agricultural practices have considerably raised the output but created problems like land and environmental degradation and pollution. Besides, this contamination of food products and pesticidal residue in food has caused much panic among the consumers and also the producers. Hence, it is necessary to find out innovative and suitable alternative technology like biological control of pests and diseases.

The present article has been reviewed to know the importance of different plant products (botanicals) against storage insect pests of seeds and grains. Storage of grains is very important in agriculture for next generation and for food security. Among various biotic and abiotic factors which determine fate of grains during storage, insect pests are of economic importance as they cause significant loss.

Agriculture sector is the most promising sector, dealing with the lot of problems now a day’s one of the innumerable problems is labour unavailability for farming. Other problems or difficulties are extreme weather events, inadequate amount and inefficient application of fertilizer, infection, diseases, allergies and other health problems due to chemical application (fungicide, pesticide, insecticide etc.) or insect/ animal bite. FAO and ITU, together with partners, have been working together in addressing same of the challenges faced in agriculture through the use of sustainable ICTs.

The major challenge lies in feeding the overly populated country which creates more dependency on the use of fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, and manures etc., to increase the crop yields. Use of agro chemicals coupled with waste water irrigation has resulted in rapid deterioration of soil quality due to over accumulation of heavy metals which are non degradable and persist for longer time in soils.

Air pollution is a heterogeneous, complex mixture of gases, liquids, and particulate matter. Air pollution has become increasingly visible in cities and towns across world. Many factors contribute to air pollution including industry, lack of vehicular emission controls, dirt roads, poor fuel quality, open burning agricultural dust and pesticides and an expanding maquiladora industry. Our plan will lead to reductions in air pollutant emissions that cause smog and acid rain by up to 55% as early as 2018.

Two insecticidal treatments (chlorantraniliprole @ 0.3 ml l-1 and chlorpyriphos @ 2.5 ml l-1 ) and two fungicidal treatments (tricyclazole @ 0.6 g l-1 and isoprothiolane @ 1.5 ml l-1 ) with an untreated control were replicated thrice in a simple randomized block design. The results showed that all the insecticide and fungicide treatments alone and in combination were found superior over untreated check.
