WHEREAS the State Government is of the opinion that the sale, distribution and use of pesticides indicated in the Schedule below are not in the interest of Basmati rice growers, in view of the following reasons namely :–

(i) There is a risk of higher pesticide residues than the Maximum Residue Level (MRL) fixed by the Competent Authority in rice grains on account of use of the agro-chemicals given in the Schedule below;

(ii) The Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut recommended Integrated Disease Management (IDM) module as an alternative to agrochemicals to control pests and diseases of Basmati rice in the State of Uttar Pradesh;

(iii) The Department of Agriculture Cooperation and Farmers Welfare (Plant Protection Division), Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India has issued SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for 'Safe and Judicious Use of Pesticides Specific to Tricyclazole and Buprofezin' vide F.No. 13035/46/2016-PP-1 (Vol.-II) Part-I (e 79858), dated June 23, 2021 wherein it has recommended alternative pesticides;

(iv) The Agricultural and Processesd Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), Government of India has also informed that export of Basmati rice is facing challenges due to the stringent norms of Maximum Residue Level of Pesticides in importing countries like European Union, United States of America and Gulf countries.

AND, WHEREAS, in view of the above, it has become imperative to prohibit the sale, distribution and use of pesticides indicated in the Schedule below on Basmati rice crop in thirty Basmati growing district of the State of Uttar Pradesh for the reason of them being a potential constraint in export and consumption of Basmati rice;

NOW, THEREFORE, in exercise of the powers conferred under sub-section (1) of section 27 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 (Act no. 46 of 1968) and all other powes enabling in this behalf, the Governor is pleased to prohibit the sale, distribution and use of all types of formulations of pesticides detailed in the Schedule below in Basmati rice crop in thirty districts of the State of Uttar Pradesh i.e.- Agra, Aligarh, Auraiya, Baghpat, Bareilly, Bijnor, Badaun, Bulandshahar, Etah, Kasganj, Farrukhabad, Firozabad, Etawah, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Hathras, Mathura, Mainpuri, Meerut, Moradabad, Amroha, Kannauj, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Pilibhit, Rampur, Saharanpur, Shahjahanpur and Sambhal for a period of sixty days from the date of publication of this notification in the Gazette, so that the quality Basmatii rice export may be enhanced.
