BRIEF NOTE ON PLANT QUARANTINE
Plant Quarantine regulatory measures are operative through the ‘Destructive
Insects & Pests Act, 1914 (Act 2 of 1914) in the country. The purpose and intent of
this Act is to prevent the introduction of any insect, fungus or other pest, which is or
may be destructive to crops. The import of agricultural commodities is presently
regulated through the Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003
the provisions of New Policy on Seed Development, 1988. Further, the significance
of Plant Quarantine has increased in view of globalization and liberalization in
International trade of plants and plant material in the wake of Sanitary and
Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement under WTO. The phytosanitary certification of
agricultural commodities being exported is also undertaken as per International Plant
Protection Convention (IPPC), 1951.
BACK GROUND ON INTRODUCTION OF PLANT QUARANTINE ORDER, 2003.
In line with the New Policy on Seed Development, 1988 and the provisions of
PQ Order, 2003, the specified planting material for propagation (viz., cuttings,
saplings, bud woods, etc.) require growing under Post Entry Quarantine (PEQ) for a
specified period. The import of such planting material is granted based on a
certificate from Designated Inspection Authorities of the concerned jurisdiction
stating that the importer possesses the post entry quarantine facility for the imported
planting material. Such consignments are released with the intimation to the
20
concerned Inspection Authorities for conducting further PEQ inspections and the
final clearance is granted based on the PEQ Inspection Report. The pest risk
analysis is mandatory for all the plants/plant material prior to its import into India as
per PQ Order, 2003. The risk of exotic pests and diseases is minimized by
identifying the potential pests which can get into the country with the specified
commodity and seeking export certification for their freedom/pest free area status,
etc. from the exporting country. The export inspections are carried out to facilitate
certification of exportable plants and plant material as per the requirement of
importing country in line with the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC).
The export inspections involves sampling and detailed laboratory tests in case of
seeds and planting material for propagation whereas visual examination with hand
lens and washing tests, etc are carried out for plant material meant for consumption.

MONITORING OF PESTICIDE RESIDUES AT NATIONAL LEVEL (MPRNL)
The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture is
regularly monitoring the pesticide residues in food commodities and environmental
samples under the central sector scheme, “Monitoring of Pesticide Residues at
National Level”. The scheme was initiated during 2005-06 with the participation of
various laboratories representing Ministry of Agriculture, Indian Council of Agriculture
Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Environment and
Forest, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of Chemical and
Fertilizer, Ministry of Commerce and State Agricultural Universities across the

The scheme involves monitoring and analysis of pesticide residues in
70
agricultural commodities in different agro-ecological regions of the country to
address the concerns for food safety and impact of pesticides on India’s food and
agricultural trade.
PROGRAM &SCHEME :
The Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture has
started a Central Sector Scheme, “Monitoring of Pesticide Residues at National
Level” in food commodities and environmental samples during 2005-06 with the
participation of various laboratories representing Ministry of Agriculture, Indian
Council of Agriculture Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of
Environment and Forest, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Ministry of
Chemical and Fertilizer, Ministry of Commerce and State Agricultural Universities
across the country. The scheme is on-going with the participation of 22 (twenty two)
laboratories all over the country. Five of these have been designated as core
laboratories to provide technical guidance and support to the associated laboratories
in each zone. As per the approved technical programme during the annual workshop
of the scheme, the participating laboratories collect the food commodities samples
from various Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) markets and Public
Distribution System (PDS), irrigated water and soil samples from intensive
agricultural fields across various parts of the country and analyze them for pesticides
residues. Since October 2006, the participating laboratories have monitored
pesticide residues in various food commodities such as vegetables, fruits, cereals,
spices, pulses, milk, animal feed, fish, meat, tea, honey, dry fruits, egg, soil and
water.
The central sector scheme is monitored by two committees, namely, Steering
Committee and Technical Committee. The policy decisions related to the scheme
are under the preview of the Steering Committee headed by the Joint Secretary
(Plant Protection), Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC) while the
Technical Committee, headed by the Assistant Director General (Plant Protection),
Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) takes care of the technical issues
related to the scheme. The Project Coordinating Cell of AINP on Pesticide Residues
is the nodal centre for implementation of the scheme. The Network Coordinator, All
India Network Project on Pesticide Residues, IARI, New Delhi is the Member
Secretary of the scheme and is the nodal person for the day to day implementation
of the scheme related to financial and technical matters and submission of monthly
report, annual report and need based information to the DAC.
The main objectives of the scheme include:
To test pesticide residues and other contaminants in food commodities and environmental samples like soil and water.
71
To identify crops and regions having preponderance of pesticide residues in order to focus extension efforts for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Good Agriculture Practices (GAP).
To strengthen infrastructure at Quarantine stations to prevent entry of food
and food commodities which have pesticide residues above maximum residue limit (MRL).
Testing / Certification of pesticide residue in export / import consignments.
