Narrative Description of the Project: Waste with related to inorganic pesticides was realized since early 1990s, when the obsolete pesticides in the different stores of the AIC were disposed in the Siwalik foothills. Because of the complex regulatory issues and lack of technology, very little work has been done for the safe disposal of the pesticides. In addition to in organic waste, organic wastes such as remnants of food items which are used in daily household consumption, animal feeds; industrial bi-products (papers, polyethylene materials), bio-gas slurry etc. are considered major organic wastes. Their improper disposal, burning, burying and disposing in public area, garbage bins in open places and stream etc. can lead to a range of environmental problems. They have tremendous uses against insect pest control if managed and recycled properly. These practice may reduce the total volume of pesticide use, improve environmental problem and health related problem. In the long run, the output may significantly contribute for the safer environment, alternative to the chemical pesticides and save the hard earned currencies. | ||
