Fascinating insights into the world of pulses

10th Feb is observed as World Pulses Day.

Here is an information packed paper Fascinating insights into the world of pulses (Dals).

Once you finish reading this two-page note, you will begin to see the pulses (dals) with an enticing “aura”.

Centre for Environment and Agriculture

Centre for Environment and Agriculture (CENTEGRO) is a Mumbai based not for profit organization active in producing policy advocacy papers focused on improving India’s farm economy.

The continuous negative portrayal of Indian agriculture has led to many myths and misconceptions among people and policy makers as well. Empirical evidence, however, shows an entirely different reality about Indian agriculture. This needs to be brought out to create the adequate level of awareness about the inherent strengths and achievements of Indian agriculture.

CENTEGRO, therefore, felt the need to develop a data based website that shares facts about indian agriculture and farm economy. This site contains extensive data from public sources together with opinions from a few experts in the field of agriculture and our own independent research.


MYTHS & FACTS ABOUT INDIAN AGRICULTURE

ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURES TO PESTICIDE SPRAY DRIFT KILL FARMERS.
  • Pesticides are sprayed diluted with water. The water content would be as high as 99% in the pesticide spray when applied to the crops.
  • Accidental short exposures to such pesticide spray drift would not deliver lethal dose to the body of the sprayman.
  • Of course, it is always recommended that such exposures are avoided.
