    BIOPESTICIDES

    961. SHRI HARBHAJAN SINGH:

    Will the Minister of AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE be pleased to state:-

    (a) the details of the market share of biopesticides in the pesticide market in the country:

    (b) whether Government is contemplating to increase the use of biopesticides due to


    adverse effect of chemical pesticides on the crops, livestocks and human health; and

    (c) if so, the details thereof along with the various steps taken by Government to encourage
    the use of biopesticides during the last three years?

    ANSWER

    THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

    (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

    (a): The details of market share of bio-pesticides in terms of consumption of Bio-pesticides


    against the total pesticides consumption is given below:
    Consumption (in MT TG)
    Year Share of Bio
    Chemical Pesticides Bio-Pesticides Total
    Pesticides
    2017-18 63406 7174 70580 10.16%
    2018-19 59669 7203 66872 10.77%
    2019-20 61701 8847 70548 12.54%

    2021-22 58720 8899 67619 13.16%

    (b) to (c): The Registration Committee (RC) constituted under section (5) of the
    Insecticides Act, 1968 registers the pesticides including biopesticides, for use in the country
    after evaluation of their safety and efficacy. RC while registering the pesticides provides the
    details of doses, crops, precautionary measures, antidotes etc. on Label and Leaflets. The
    registered pesticides if used as per Label and Leaflets do not pose any harm to human beings,
    animals, living organisms, other than pests.

    The Government of India has taken various steps to promote the use of bio pesticides.
    Simplified guidelines have been formulated by RC for the registration of bio pesticides. For
    bio-pesticides provisional registration is being granted under Section 9(3B) of the Insecticides
    Act, 1968 alongwith the permission for commercialization during the provisional registration
    period of two years. Thereafter, extension is also granted thrice on yearly basis, to generate
    requisite data to be submitted for permanent registration under section 9(3). Besides this, if the
    strain of a bio-pesticide is already registered for use in the country, no data generation is
    required by the subsequent registrants, except for confirmation of molecular identity of the
    strain from ICAR-National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (ICAR-
    NBAIM), MaunathBhanjan (UP) and quality verification of the product from Central
    Insecticide Laboratory (CIL).
    Further, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare through its KVKs, ICAR and CIPMCs
    located in 28 States and 2 UTs, etcconduct various training programmers such as Farmers Field
    Schools, two/five days HRD programmers, Kisan Goshthis, IPM Exhibitions and Seed
    Treatment Campaigns where awareness is created amongst farmers, NGOs/Pesticide
    dealers/State agriculture functionaries on use of bio pesticides, bio control agents and botanical
    formulations as an alternative to chemical pesticides for pest management, safe and judicious
    use of chemical pesticides, usage, dose and label claim instructions as approved by RC.
    Registration Committee has registered Entomo-pathogenic fungus Verticillium lecanii which is
    approved for the management of insect pest on various crops. Presently, CIPMC’s are
    successfully producing many biopesticides such as Metarhizium, Beauveria, Pseudomonas,
    Bacillus, Trichoderma spp., Isariafumosorosea; biocontrol agents such as Trichogramma spp.,
    Chilonusblackburni, Reduviid bug, Rhynocorismarginatus, Chrysoperlazastrowisillemi,
    Cryptolaemus montrouzeri, Goniozusnephantidis, Sycanuscollaris, Psuedomallada astur and
    releasing the same in fields for management of various pests and pathogens. In Rabi season
    2021-22CIPMCsalso demonstrated importance of seed treatment by using
    Biopesticides.Details of various IPM activities carried out during last three year is enclosed as
