The field studies were conducted tomonitor the insecticide residues on food crops (rice, maize, pigeonpea), cotton, vegetables,soil and water and to know the impact of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in reducinginsecticide residues. The laboratory experiments were conducted in Pesticide ResidueLaboratory at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics(ICRISAT), Patancheru, India. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) was undertaken inKothapally watershed (IPM village) and Enkepally (non-IPM village).Among the food crops and cotton analysed for presence of insecticide residues(monocrotophos, chlorpyriphos, alpha endosulfan, beta endosulfan and cypermethrin), onerice grain sample (0.5 pg g-') out of 5 samples collected from Kothapally was contaminatedand among the soil samples, residues were detected in one soil sample (0.02 pg g'') collectedfrom maize field during 2008 in Enkepally. Only two samples were contaminated -- one ricegrain sample (0.008 pg g-I) and one soil sample (0.03 pg g") collected from rice field during2009 from Enkepally
