The Agri Dept field office can recommend banning five pesticides

Nagpur: With the spraying season of pesticides will begin at the end of the month, the Field Office of the State Ministry of Agriculture plans to re-recommend a ban on the use of five formulations found by the victims of inhalation deaths.
In 2017, the state saw a number of deaths due to unintentional inhalation of pesticides.
The majority of victims are farm laborers.
Of the approximate 80 deaths in 2017, Yavatmal had seen the highest victim.
Death continues even in the following years.
A week ago, Durvas Hazare 46, a farmer from Kinhi Dhanoli Village from Hingna Tehsil Nagpur, fainted after spraying.
He was treated at Shalintai Hospital Meghe Wardha where he died after five days.
“The hospital in Vidarbha began accepting cases such as the spraying season began,” said the doctor responsible.
Dr.
Kalantri, medical supervisor of the Mahatma Gandhi Medical Institute (MGIM), was also confirmed to have found a number of accidental inhalation cases.
Such patients are ordinary scenes in MGIM, he said.
Kalantri has also tweeted a picture of farmers who underwent treatment when he wrote monokrotphos, very dangerous pesticides, is easily available in India even though it is prohibited in 112 countries.
Farmers usually use them to commit suicide.
Monocrotophos is one of five pesticides found in inhalation cases.
Preparing for this season, District Administration in Yavatmal also holds medical seminars to discuss similarities between covid symptoms and inhalation of pesticides.
In both cases, patients need oxygen support.
After death in 2017, five formulations of pesticides – Profefonos-Cypermthrine, Monocrotophos, Profenyl-Imidachloproph, Asataaf and Difentrion have been banned from time to time by the state government.
Prohibition, however, remained for two months.
A permanent ban must come from the center.
A senior agriculture department in Yavatmal said soon a new recommendation could be sent because it banned five formulations to prevent accidents.
Inhalation of accidental pesticides during spraying leads to contact poisoning.
It can also cause the death of farmers and agricultural hands treated in hospitals for care.
Many also survive because they can be treated.
Kishore Tiwari, Chairperson of Vasantrao on Shetkari Swavalban Mission (VNSSM), the state government assignment unit in the agrarian crisis, said that those who had recovered from Covid also insisted not to spray pesticides.
“There is a protocol that people who take the work of spray must have a medial fitness certificate first.
Therefore, including the lungs function as a parameter, those who have recovered from Covid naturally do not qualify for the spraying of prestimices.
Onus will be in the health actors Provide a certificate to ensure facts, “said Tiwari.
Despite the prohibition, farmers prefer five formulations, especially monocrotophos, because it is easily available.
The agricultural input dealer also encourages the same formulation, the source said.
Surendra Kothari, Director of Agriculture produced the Marketing Committee (APMC), in HingangPhat in Wardha, said the general farmer went away with what dealers recommended.
They generally encourage five formulations.
