The randomly collected 140 samples were bulked into 28 laboratory samples for analysis. The samples were extracted and cleanup using Quick Easy Cheap Efficient Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) methods. Twenty organochlorine compounds comprising benzene hexachloride (BHC), heptachlor, aldrin, chlordane, endosulfan, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, methoxychlor, heptachlor, endosulfan, and their metabolites were quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The recovery percentage of OCs residues were in the range of 90.1 to 93.7% and the limit of detection ranged between 0.00003 and 0.00020 mg kg-1. The prevalence of the contaminated cowpeas samples with p,p’-dichlorodiphenyltrichloethane (DDT), endosulfan sulphate, and endrin ketone was 89.29%. Aldrin, dieldrin pp’- p,p’-dichlorodiphenyldichloethylene (DDE), alpha BHC, Delta-BHC had an incidence of 75.00, 32.14 and 57.14 % respectively. None of the OC residues were detected in the cowpea grains obtained from Utako market (UW). Mean residual concentration of the OCs insecticides in the samples ranged between 0.000068 to 0.006633 mg kg-1. The mean concentration level of heptachlor epoxide (0.0550 mg kg-1), methoxychlor (0.0147 mg kg-1), and endrin ketone (0.0663 mg kg-1) were above the EU limits of 0.020, 0.010 and 0.050 mg kg-1 respectively.and the concentration level of all the other 17 compounds in all the samples were below the EU maximum limit. Human risk assessment indicated that all the detected OCs residues were within Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI). The mean value for Hazard index (HI) revealed that endrin ketone (27.2616) was > 1 while the combined health hazard of OCs was < 100 and consumption of the samples might poses health risk due to presence of the banned OCs. This study suggests that cowpea grains sold in the study area pose a potential health risk to the consumers.","PeriodicalId":157369,"journal":{"name":"Pesticide Science and Pest Control","volume":" 85","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141826777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economically significant infectious camel illness called camel mange affects the health and production of these animals. In order to ascertain the prevalence of camel mange mites and related risk factors in Kumbi woreda in Eastern Hararghe, Ethiopia, a cross-sectional study was carried out between May and November 2019. A total of 384 animals were randomly chosen for this investigation, and 96 camels tested positive for mange mite infestation. Skin scrapings were used to recover mange from suspicious lesions, which were then inspected under a microscope. As a result, 25% of camels were discovered to have mange mites. In every skin scraping sample taken from the suspected mange mite lesions, only Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli mite species was found. PA, sex, age, physical condition status, and herd size were thought to be risk factors. Only the herd size and body condition shows a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of mange mites (P 0.05), whereas the PA, sex, and age did not exhibit any significant differences in mange infestation. According to this study, mange mites are present in camel papulations in the Kumbi woreda, which may negatively impact the health and productivity of the camels. To lessen the impact of mange mite infestation on camel husbandry, more emphasis should be placed on improving the management system, along with additional research and control measures.","PeriodicalId":157369,"journal":{"name":"Pesticide Science and Pest Control","volume":"396 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115987073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also gathered information on why farmers misused the pesticides. Data for this study were collected from secondary sources like books, electronic sources, experimental and field reports. It was discovered from the literature searched that males were majorly pesticide users than the females. Higher education levels of farmers reduced the misuse of pesticides. Majority of farmers were reusing pesticide containers for keeping valuable thing in homes and that pesticides which are highly toxic are being used by farmers. It was also noted that, farmers are misusing agrochemicals due to inappropriate use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), mixing of two chemicals which are meant to perform different role, lack of checking expiry dates on the pesticides containers and inability of many farmers to read and understand the instructions on pesticide containers. Many farmers experience discomforts such as vomiting, itching eyes, burning sensation, dizziness, nausea etc. Impact of pesticides on the environment were revealed to have detrimental effect on hatching of egg of some aquatic organisms, hinders reproductive and endocrine systems and contamination of food, water, death of livestock, fish death and loss of biodiversity as a result of environmental hazards caused by pesticide usage. It is therefore concluded that farmers should be encouraged to use their complete PPE during pesticides application to avoid having discomfort, and the use of pesticides should not be anchored by old age farmers. Moreso, banned pesticides should be monitored not to be sold in the market, adult education should be organized for the pesticide users and encourage proper disposal of pesticide cans into appropriate incinerator after used.","PeriodicalId":157369,"journal":{"name":"Pesticide Science and Pest Control","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123076860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cultivation of these plants in the mountainous regions protects the slopes from the terrible erosion process and provides the animals with a strong fodder. It is proved by the results of the research that restoration of fertility and ecological balance of erosion lands and the implementation of soil-agro-technical measures to increase productivity are of great importance. Due to the application of these measures, I, as a result of improving the water and physical properties of the affected land, prevent surface water flows. In addition, the results of the study have been proven by the fact that, for certain reason, erosion and erosion hazards are most likely to be taken over by the sowing of perennial herbs. Thus, perennial herbs, in particular, accumulate the nitrogen atmosphere of the legumes, enriches the soil with organic matter, accelerates the formation of water-resistant granular - topical structure and improves its water-physical properties, which in turn facilitates the rapid digestion of foodstuffs.","PeriodicalId":157369,"journal":{"name":"Pesticide Science and Pest Control","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127409525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
