The Centre has
released a new draft Pesticide Management Bill 2017 to replace an almost 50-year old legislation governing
the plant chemicals sector. Main points are as below:
11.pesticide inspectors should also be held
responsible for growth and approval of spurious pesticide, which the new draft
hasn’t incorporated.
2.data protection be extended to five years and
data submitted with application to not be reused by another applicant for three
years, which the current draft does not have.
3. every pesticide sold to a farmer, producer,
stockist, distributor, retailer or pest control operator, as the case may be,
shall disclose the expected performance, efficacy or safety of such pesticide
under given conditions.
4.And, if the pesticide fails to provide the
expected performance or causes any harm to human or animal health or damage to
the environment by use of that pesticide, then, the farmer or the affected
person may claim compensation from the manufacturer or distributor or stockist
or retailer or pest control operator, as the case may be, under the provisions
of the Consumer Protection Act.
All these mesarures will adversely affect the
Pesticides companies.
