Abstract
This study was taken to evaluate pesticide quality and their impact on crop. Total 14336 number of pesticide samples were received for quality evaluation from 2006 to 2012. The data was analysed statistically at 5% level of significance and treatment means were worked out. The results revealed that out of 14336 analysed samples, 13541 (94.5%) were declared fit for crop use whereas the remaining 795 (5.5%) were found to be unfit. The trend in generic and branded unfit samples between the years 2006 to 2012 revealed that the agencies marketing branded pesticides had better quality than generic ones.
