Pooled data of the 80 food crop and cotton samples, two rice grain samples (3 %) showed beta endosulfan residues, and two (3 %) soil samples showed alpha and beta endosulfan residues. In vegetables of the 75 tomato samples, 26 (35 %) were found contaminated with residues of which 4 % had residues above MRLs. Among the 80 brinjal samples, 46 (56 %) had residues, of these 4 % samples had residues above MRLs. Only 13 soil samples from vegetable fields were found contaminated. The frequency of contamination in brinjal fields was high and none of the pulses and cotton samples revealed any pesticide contamination. IPM fields showed substantial reduction sprays which in-turn reflected in lower residues. Initial studies on water analysis indicated the presence of residues in all water sources with higher in bore wells compared to open wells, however, by 2009 the water bodies reflected no residues above the detectable level. date: 2015 publisher: Springer India place_of_pub: India pagerange: 397-412 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-81-322-2089-3 book_title: New Horizons in Insect Science: Towards Sustainable Pest Management official_url: http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-81-322-2089-3_35 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=Integrated+Pest+Management+%28IPM%29+for+Reducing+Pesticide+Residues+in+Crops+and+Natural+Resources&btnG= related_url_type: pub citation: Ranga Rao, G V and Ratna Kumari, B and Sahrawat, K L and Wani, S P (2015) Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Reducing Pesticide Residues in Crops and Natural Resources.
