AGENDA NOTE FOR ZONAL CONFERENCE FOR RABI 2011-12 ON INPUTS (PLANT PROTECTION & PESTICIDES) 1. 1.1 PESTICIDES DEMAND AND DISTRIBUTION Consumption and Demand of Pesticides Consumption of pesticides during 2010-11 may be indicated by States/UTs (for chemical and bio-pesticides separately) as per Annexure-I. Demand of pesticides for 2011-12 (Kharif 2011 and Rabi 2011-12) may also be indicated by States/UTs (for chemical and bio-pesticides separately) as per Annexure-I. 1.2 Availability and Distribution of Pesticides States/UTs are required to monitor the availability of pesticides at various levels periodically for review of the production and availability of pesticides with manufacturers/formulators located in their respective States/UTs. No State/UT has reported short supply of pesticides during Kharif 2011 season. Any problem regarding availability of pesticides for Kharif 2011 may be reported in the Zonal Conference. States/UTs may also provide information on their sale/distribution points as on 01.01.2011 as per Annexure-II. 1.3 Commodity-wise consumption of Pesticides All the States are using pesticides and bio-pesticides for different agricultural/horticultural crops. Therefore, the States are required to provide consumption of chemical pesticides and bio-pesticides commodity-wise, such as cereals, pulses, fibre crops vegetables, fruit crops, cash crops, plantation crops, oilseed crops, etc. The information may be furnished in Annexure-III. 1.4 Area under application of Chemical & Bio-pesticides The States are required to provide information on area under cultivation where chemical pesticides and bio-pesticides are applied as per Annexure-IV. 2. 2.1 IMPLEMENTATION OF INSECTICIDES ACT, 1968 AND RULES FRAMED THEREUNDER Quality Control of Pesticides The Insecticides Act has provisions for notification of four important functionaries for implementation of its provisions relating to quality control, in particular. These functionaries are (i) Licensing Officers (ii) Appellate Authorities (iii) Insecticides Inspectors and (iv) Insecticides Analysts. States and UTs are required to notify 1 these functionaries. Every State is required to give details of Insecticide Inspectors district-wise in the State in prescribed proforma as per Annexure-V. 2.1.1 State Pesticide Testing Laboratories (SPTLs) 23 States and 1 UT have set up 68 State Pesticides Testing Laboratories (SPTLs) with an annual capacity of analyzing over 68,110 samples for monitoring the quality status of pesticides. The details regarding location of these SPTLs and details of samples analyzed are given at Annexures-VI & VII respectively. Information upto March’11 must be updated. The Central Government has also set up Central Insecticides Laboratory (CIL) as a National Referral Laboratory u/s 16 of the Act. The details of samples analyzed at CIL during previous 5 years are given at Annexure- VIII. Besides two Regional Pesticides Testing Laboratories (RPTLs) have also been set up at Chandigarh and Kanpur to supplement the resources of the States/UTs in the analysis of pesticides, where SPTLs do not exist or facilities to analyze certain pesticides do not exist. The details of samples analyzed at RPTLs during previous five years are given at Annexure-IX. 2.1.2. Issues for review with States/UTs 2.1.2. 1. Strengthening of functioning of SPTLs: States/UTs may ensure that each SPTL is equipped with sophisticated analytical equipment i.e. UV-visible spectrophotometer, GLC, HPLC and FT-IR spectrometer and also that these machines are functional and calibrated periodically, so as to obtain accurate and repeatable results using referee methods. 2.1.2. 2. Providing graphs with analysis reports: Chromatograms or spectra, as the case may be, should invariably accompany analysis reports of samples which are found to be misbranded on analysis. 2.1.2. 3. NABL accreditation for State Pesticides Testing Laboratories (SPTLs): The Central Insecticides Laboratory, Faridabad and the Regional Pesticides Testing Laboratories at Chandigarh and Kanpur have received the Certificate of Accreditation by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL). During earlier Zonal Conferences, States/UTs were requested to obtain NABL accreditation for their SPTLs also. The status of accreditation may be furnished as per Annexure-X. 2.1.2. 4. Drawal of pesticide samples and utilization of analysis capacities of SPTLs: The statistics provided by some of the States show that the analysis capacity of SPTLs is not fully utilized. Samples are required to be drawn from all establishments selling pesticides as per Rule 27 and the manufacturing units as per 2 Rule 28 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. States may review, plan and give specific directions to their Insecticide Inspectors for drawal of samples from such establishments or manufacturing units from where the samples were not drawn in the past or found misbranded frequently so that not only the analysis capacity of SPTLs is fully utilized but quality check is also enhanced through analysis of more samples besides covering products of all manufacturers. 2.1.2. 5. Survey work for enhanced quality control: An extensive survey may be undertaken by extension functionaries of State Agriculture Departments to find out from farmers about the products, or manufacturers whose products were found less effective or ineffective by them in the past and the information so collected may be consolidated and utilized for planning in drawal of samples in the current season. 2.1.2. 6. Proper examination of records of manufacturers: States/UTs may direct their Insecticide Inspectors to proper examine the records of pesticides manufacturers to collect information on date-wise receipt and disposal of stocks of main raw materials, including insecticides. The information may then be examined to find out if the production of pesticides is in consonance with inputs and also whether the inputs, mainly the active ingredient, were received from approved sources. 2.1.2. 7. Review the work of existing/setting up of new Flying Squads for special Quality Control campaigns: Unscrupulous elements/fly-by-night operators find it convenient to push misbranded/spurious pesticide products during peak cropping season to meet market demand. States/UTs are requested to review work of existing flying squads or constitute fresh flying squads under direct supervision of senior officers of the Agriculture Department to draw samples for quality monitoring during peak cropping season, giving emphasis on sampling of products of those manufacturers from whom sample were not drawn periodically or reported to be less effective or ineffective or caused undesirable affects like phyto-toxicity in the field. 2.1.2. 8. Action against defaulters: All exercise related to monitoring of quality becomes superfluous if appropriate administrative and legal action is not taken against offenders. Statistics on the number of samples drawn, found misbranded and the number of convictions (Annexure-XI) shows that follow up action needs to be pursued vigorously by States/UTs. The functionaries may be properly guided not only to handle the cases of misbranded insecticides but also other offences, which may be found from records. Administrative action, like suspension/cancellation of licenses may be taken immediately, followed by legal action in cases of violation in order to deter offenders and discourage others from following suite. It may be ensured that reports on action taken are periodically submitted by the States to Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage (DPPQ&S), Faridabad. 3 2.1.2. 9. Establishment of Bio-pesticides Testing Laboratory: Integrated Pest Management is country’s main plank of plant protection strategy. Consequently, registration and use of bio-pesticides is being encouraged. With increasing consumption of bio-pesticides, their quality control has also become important. Assistance for setting up bio-pesticide testing facilities is available from 2010-11 under central sector scheme ‘Strengthening and Modernization of Pest Management Approach (SMPMA)’ and proposals have been invited from States/UTs. States/UTs are requested to create the infrastructure for bio-pesticides testing in the existing SPTLs or State Bio-Control Laboratories (SBCLs) keeping in view the quantity of bio-pesticides being used in the State and also notify Insecticide Analyst(s) for the purpose, accordingly. 2.1.2. 10. Implementation of recommendations of Expert Group: The report of the Expert Group, constituted by the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation (DAC) under the Chairmanship of Plant Protection Adviser to the Government of India, to assess existing pesticide testing and quality control infrastructure in the public and private sector, estimation of required infrastructure adequacy or otherwise of technical manpower and capacity building, estimation of resource requirement, etc. has been circulated to all States/UTs for implementation of recommendations. It would be appreciated if action is taken thereon in a timebound manner and a Quarterly Progress Report is sent to DPPQ&S. 2.1.2. 11. Setting up of Task Force for Special Campaign for Quality Control: States/UTs are requested to constitute special flying squads comprising senior officers of the Agriculture Department to draw samples for quality monitoring during peak period of cropping season. Emphasis may be given on sampling of the product which is reported to be less effective or ineffective by the farmers or any other sources. Close watch should be kept on fly by night operators trying to push spurious pesticides into the market. 2.1.2. 12. Issues relating to packaging: Pesticide samples for testing of Packaging, Labeling and Leaflet parameters under Rule 5 (C) are required to be drawn by State Department of Agriculture Functionaries on regular basis as per the target earmarked to them. A copy of each label, leaflet and the certificate of registration is required to be sent with the samples of pesticides drawn under Rule 5(C) of Insecticides Rules, 1971 while forwarding the sample to CIL. 2.1.3 Grants-in-Aid for Strengthening/Setting up of SPTLs 4 States have been provided grant-in-aid to strengthen facilities in existing SPTLs and also for setting up of new SPTLs. Grants-in-Aid to the tune of Rs. 315.00 lakh, Rs. 240.00 lakh and Rs. 135.0 lakh were released to States/UTs for construction of new laboratory buildings during 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2007-08 respectively. Some SPTLs have been provided sophisticated equipments for strengthening existing facilities during 2004-05, 2006-07., 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10. As decided by DAC, States/UTs which do not have any SPTL have been advised of the minimum requirement of infrastructure, manpower and equipments etc. so that they can submit their proposals accordingly. Such States are again requested to send proposals for strengthening and setting up of new SPTLs for quality control of pesticides. A statement showing Grants-in-Aid to the State/UT may be seen at Annexure-XII. States, which have received grant-in-aid for construction of new laboratories are required to furnish utilization certificate and thereafter status of minimum infrastructure facility developed and trained manpower provided in the new laboratory, so that sophisticated equipments are provided. Utilization certificates for grant-in-aid released during 8th and 9th Plans and 2003-04 may be furnished expeditiously. 2.1.4 Safe Use of Pesticides and Pesticide Poisoning As per Section 26 of the Insecticides Act, 1968, the States/UTs are required to notify the functionaries to send information on all the cases of pesticide poisoning coming within their cognizance to the Central Government. A number of pesticide poisoning cases are reported from different parts of the country. The causes can be attributed due to lack of information on safe and judicious use of pesticides. The current status of poisoning cases and deaths are collected from the States/ UTs during the zonal conferences. The States/UTs should periodiocally report the poisoning cases in the prescribed format (Annexure-XIII) as well as deaths due to poisoning (Annexure-XIV). Improper, excessive and careless use and handling of pesticides may prove injurious to man, domesticated animals and environment as well. It has been found that the farmers/hired labourers are not aware of the hazards involved in use and spraying of pesticides and do not use any protective clothing. Therefore, the State Governments/Union Territories should organize safety campaigns at short intervals to educate the farmers on “Safe and judicious use of pesticides”. In addition, during spraying operation the extension functionaries of the State Deptt. of Agriculture and multipurpose workers in the State Department of Health should ensure that safety precautions should be actually observed by the spraymen while spraying pesticide. Number of pesticide poisoning cases are reported for treatment at various hospitals in different parts of the country. Doctors handling such cases for treatment are handicapped due to non-availability of required antidotes and literature. Also, sometimes the doctors are unaware of the newer trends in the management of these cases. The Medical Toxicology Division of the Central Insecticides Laboratory, Faridabad, is regularly conducting training and programmes on “Diagnosis and Management of Pesticide Poisoning” for the benefit of doctors in various parts of the country. Also, the literature, pamphlets, booklets related to above issues are 5 distributed and know-how of antidotes, etc. is provided during the training sessions. During the period from 2003-2011, 1,192 doctors have been trained on the ”Diagnosis, management and treatment of pesticide poisoning”. Further, the State Government/UT authorities should also organize refresher training courses for doctors on diagnosis, management and treatment of pesticide poisoning with the help of medical institutions. They should also ensure the availability of antidotes in the hospitals as well as in medical stores. 3. 3.1. REGISTRATION OF PESTICIDES Registration of Bio-pesticides: Pesticides are toxic in nature and are required to be used judiciously with specified precautions to safeguard the users, animals, wild life and the environment. The Registration Committee (RC) constituted under Section 5 of the Insecticides Act, 1968 is seized of the emerging pest problems in the country and has been approving the uses of new pesticides and new formulations of already registered pesticides to combat the pest problems of various crops in the country. To promote the concept of Integrated Pest Management and to reduce the use of chemical pesticides, RC has registered 19 bio-pesticides for use in the country, 12 of them have been registered u/s 9(3) (Annexure-XV). As many as 46 bio-pesticides have been included in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act 1968 and the complete list is available at the website www.cibrc.nic.in. Quality standards and specifications of these bio-pesticides have been formulated in consultation with scientists of ICAR, SAUs, DBT, ICMR and bio-pesticides industry and these are available on the website www.cibrc.nic.in. Department of Agriculture of all States/UTs are required to follow them up with the help of facilities available in their state in the bio-pesticides testing laboratories and SAUs or any other Research Institutes having the required infrastructure. For quality control of bio-pesticides, Government of India has notified, vide Gazette notification G.S.R. 756 (E) dated 15th December 2006, the 7 Laboratories in different States to function as Central Insecticides Laboratory in respect of bio-pesticides (Annexure-XVI). As many as 46 bio-pesticides have been included in the Schedule to the Insecticides Act, 1968 by the Government of India by issuing the Gazette Notifications from time to time and a list of pesticides in the Schedule to the Act is available on the website www.cibrc.nic.in. 3.2. Registered, Banned and Restricted Pesticides: 230 pesticides have been granted regular registration for use in the country under Section 9(3) of the Act (Annexure-XVII). 28 pesticides have been banned for import, manufacture and use in the country, 4 pesticides formulations have been banned for import, manufacture and use in the country. One pesticide and one pesticide formulation have been banned for use but their manufacture is allowed for export. Uses of 7 pesticides have been withdrawn (Annexure-XVIII). Restrictions have been imposed on 13 other pesticides (Annexure-XIX) and 18 pesticides have 6 been refused registration in the country (Annexure-XX). States/UTs may take note of this information. 3.3. Maintenance of Database of Manufacturing Licenses: During previous Zonal Conferences, it has been emphasized to send an annual statement for pesticide manufacturing facilities in the State based on valid manufacturing licenses issued by the State Government. To maintain database on this aspect, all the States/UTs need to send information in the month of January every year. 3.4. Proper Use of Pesticides: States/UTs are required to ensure proper use of registered pesticides as per the conditions stipulated in their Certificate of Registration by the Registration Committee constituted under the Act. A workshop on ‘Approved Use of Pesticides in Agriculture’ was organized on August 30, 2010 by DAC at NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi. State Departments of Agriculture and Horticulture and SAUs were asked to review their recommendations on uses of pesticides on various crops to bring them in alignment with the uses as approved by RC under the Insecticides Act, 1968. They are to ensure that every new use of pesticide in agriculture should have approval of the Registration committee. They were also requested to create awareness through extensive use of print, audio and visual media, preferably in regional languages, about benefits of using pesticides as approved by RC, adverse effects of non-approved uses of pesticides, repercussions of not observing the waiting periods, and harmful effects of treating the food commodities with pesticides just before harvest or at the time of marketing. States/UTs are requested to furnish details of action taken on these recommendations. 7 4. PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) 4.1 Pest & disease situation During Rabi 2010-11, the pest & disease situation in general remained normal throughout the country as no major outbreak of any pest was reported. However, Sever incidence of wilt disease of gram crop in Maharatra State was reported. Yellow rust of wheat was appeared in northern states like, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Uttaranchal. No economic loss was reported due to this disease as record output of high yield of wheat was reported during 2010-11 in these States. Repeated and indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides ignoring IPM package of practices is counter-productive as it affects adversely n the population of naturally occurring bio-control agents/bio-pesticides. 4.2 Pest and Disease Survey Surveillance of kharif crops to monitor insect pest and disease situation is essential and States are advised to constitute survey teams and finalize the survey routes of major crops well in advance. The hot spots of pest/disease should be identified and survey efforts in such areas should be intensified to know the pest/disease situation at the initial stage itself. The present trained manpower as Master Trainers and Agricultural Extension Officers (AEOs) may be deployed for conducting such surveys in the States. Central IPM Centres conduct rapid roving survey on weekly interval basis especially in pests/ diseases prone areas so as to advise state on any likely increase of pest’s build-up. All the States are advised to maintain close liaison with CIPMCs for taking precautionary measures. States may consider taking up intensive pest surveillance as implemented by Maharashtra under their Crop Surveillance and Advisory Project (CROPSAP) for soybean, cotton, pigeon-pea and chickpea, and by Orissa for rice (During 2011-12, Gujarat has also taken up similar project for cotton and groundnut). 4.3 Pest Surveillance and Advisory System DAC has constituted National Pest Surveillance and Advisory Unit (NPSAU) at national level and suggested State Governments to set up State Pest Surveillance and Advisory Unit (SPSAU) and District Pest Surveillance and Advisory Unit (DPSAU) at state and district levels respectively. So far AP, Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, UP, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, West Bengal and Karnataka have constituted SPSAU/ DPSAU. All the States were requested through letter no. 3-6/200809/IPM (surveillance) dated 22-07-09 to furnish action taken report on the minutes of the first meeting of NPSAU held on 19.12.2008. So far only Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Rajasthan States have furnished action taken report. Further, a letter was sent to all States on 24-09-2009 advising them to conduct SPSAU meeting regularly on 4 th day of each month so as to review the pest/disease situation and furnishing the progress on pest incidence, area affected, area treated efforts made/being made, etc. In-charges, CIPMCs were also instructed to submit report of SPSAU to DPPQ&S by 7th day of each month. States/UTs may furnish information on SPSAU/DPSAU. 8 4.4 Pest/Disease Monitoring Information System (PDMIS) Presently, only Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Kerala, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra states are updating pests/ diseases situation through the PDMIS. Other states are requested to take necessary steps so as to update the information on pests/ diseases through this system for taking further steps timely. 4.5 Seed treatment Campaign Keeping in view the importance of seed treatment to achieve better crop output, Government of India has launched a country wide campaign for ensuring 100% seed treatment in all important crops. States/UTs are requested to communicate their achievements through the enclosed proforma (Annexure-XXI). 4.6 Human Resource Development During the past 20 years emphasis has been laid to develop skill human resources in the States by imparting training to Master Trainers and AEOs through the conduct of 48 Season Long Training Courses. In these courses, a total number of 1,720 Master Trainers have been trained on IPM in various agriculture/horticulture crops. Under the Farmers’ Field Schools (FFSs) programmes, since 1994-95 to 2010-2011, 13,738 FFSs have been conducted and 58,354 AEOs and 4,12,997 farmers have been trained in IPM skills. During 2010-11, 804 FFSs were conducted wherein 3,970 AEOs and 24,044 farmers were trained in Kharif and Rabi through CIPMCs. 132 and 8 two days and five days training programmes respectively were conducted through CIPMCs during 2010-11. One SLTP on vegetables in Lucknow was organized wherein 23 state level extension functionaries were trained. States may utilize services of trained Master Trainers and AEOs for conduct of FFSs in the States. During the FFSs programme women farmers have also been trained. Emphasis should be to associate women farmers and farmers of the weaker sections of the society in the future IPM training programmes. 4.7 Promotion of bio-control and Grant-in-aid To supplement the field population of parasitoids, predators and pathogens by releases of field collected or laboratory reared bio-control agents and use of bio-pesticides (Bacillus thuringiensis, Trichoderma, NPV), grant-in-aid has been given to States/UTs for establishment of 29 State Bio-control Laboratories (SBCLs) @ Rs. 50.00 lakh per laboratory. So far, an amount of Rs. 1772.00 lakh has already been released to the States for construction of Laboratory building and procurement of equipment and vehicles. Statement showing funds allocated, amount spent and unspent balances against the States during VIII & X Plans for the establishment of State Biological Control Laboratories (SBCLs) under the scheme “Strengthening and Modernization of Pest Management Approach in India” is enclosed at Annexure-XXII. All States except Jammu & Kashmir and Uttaranchal have made considerable progress in construction and commissioning of the laboratories. States may consider expeditious commissioning of the SBCLs so that additional infrastructure is created in the States for mass production of bio-control agents. During 10th Five Year Plan Govt. of India, had approved grant in aid for establishment of more State 9 Bio-control Laboratories (SBCLs) in States. So far, Govt. of India has released Rs. 405 lakh @ Rs. 45 lakh per lab. to States of Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Haryana, Maharashtra and Uttaranchal. The States should put their full efforts for early establishment of these SBCLs. States are requested to furnish utilization certificates of funds released so far. 4.8 Coordination of State IPM activities Financial assistance is being made available to the States from various agencies like Department of Agriculture & Cooperation’s TMOP, Crops Division, Plant Protection Division of Government of India, State Departments of Agriculture, Department of Bio-Technology etc. To derive full benefit of these resources, States may consider constituting a Coordination Cell headed by a single Nodal Officer to coordinate and make better use of these financial inputs for the benefit of the farmers. In this direction, State IPM Steering Committee may be constituted which can advise the States to ensure proper implementation of all the IPM programmes. 5. Locust Monitoring and Control 5.1 Desert Locust Situation: India continued to remain free from gregarious desert locust activity this year so far. However, solitary immature adults of desert locust ranging from 1-2 adult/ sq km were reported from one locality and 5 adults of Tree Locust were collected at border areas of Jaisalmer district. At present soil moisture is suitable for locust breeding in scheduled Desert Area (SDA). LWO staff is keeping constant watch over desert locust activities throughout the scheduled Desert Area in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. State governments of Rajasthan and Gujarat are requested to keep constant vigil on the desert locust activities through their field staff and report the same to in-charge of LCOs of their respected areas for necessary action by Central Government if any. 5.2 National Action Plan for locust control campaign – 2011 SDA: A contingency plan, in anticipation, would be prepared for locust survey and control. As a part of early warning system, locust situation bulletins to national, international and other agencies would continue to be issued at fortnightly intervals. Locust surveys would be intensified in whole of the Scheduled Desert Area (SDA) especially in the border areas encompassing key locust prone areas. Special border surveys would also be conducted during June –November, 2011. Creation of awareness about locust menace among the public and government officials by way of providing wide publicity through print media, electronic media, distribution of pamphlets, fixing up of hoardings and boards would be done. The requirement/ availability of control potential like vehicle, survey and control equipment, pesticides, manpower and communication equipments would be reviewed. States are advised to take the stock of preparedness to combat locust threat. 10 6. PLANT QUARANTINE: In view of globalization and liberalization of international trade in agriculture, States/UTs are also required to play an important role in the international trade of plants and plant materials under Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement under WTO. Following issues are of significance requiring attention of States/UTs: 6.1 Export certification of plants and plant materials: DAC has notified various officers of State Governments for issue of Phytosanitary Certificates (PSCs) for agricultural commodities meant for export. PSC issuing officers are required to maintain proper inspection procedures to ensure certification of only pest free agricultural commodities for export. To streamline and harmonize certification process, Standard Operating Procedure for “Export Inspection & Phytosanitary Certification of Plant/ Plant Products & Other Regulated Articles” has been developed and adopted. In the recent past, India has been receiving increasing number of non-compliances on exported consignments from importing countries especially from EU. While a major part of such non-compliances relate to wood packaging (ISPM-15), there are significant number of cases reported regarding interception of live insect pests and other deficiencies in exported consignments. Hence, it is important that PSC issuing authorities ensure proper export inspection and certification of the commodities to be exported. 6.2 Compliance of ISPM-15 on Export of Wood Packaging Materials: As per IPPC provisions, all importing countries require that the Wood Packaging Materials (WPM)/dunnage used in all kinds of goods and agricultural commodities should be either fumigated with methyl bromide or heat treated by the registered treatment providers to ensure that it is free from pests. These service providers have been accredited by DPPQ&S (details available on www.plantquarantineindia.org). These treatment providers are authorized to put ISPM-15 stamp on treated WPM/dunnage. All PSC issuing authorities/export promotion personnel are advised to ensure ISPM-15 stamps on WPM to avoid any non-compliance from the importing countries and consequent adverse effects on our exports. 6.3 On line Application for PSC and introduction of uniform pre-printed stationary: India has operationalized a uniform PSC form on pre-printed stationary having security features with effect from 1st January, 2011. Plant Quarantine Information System (PQIS) in the country has been launched on 24.01.2011. Exporters who intend to obtain PSC would have to register their application online at http://plantquarantineindia.nic.in. PSC issuing authorities will receive the said applications through a unique login ID which is allotted to them. Authorized officer will issue PSCs on pre-printed forms which have already been dispatched to all PSC issuing authorities. Those who have not yet received pre-printed stationary may contact their nearest Regional Plant Quarantine Station. 11 6.4 Grants-in-aid released to State PSC issuing authorities: During 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08, grant-in-aid was provided to various State PSC issuing authorities to strengthen/equip their laboratory with latest equipments for carrying out export inspection. Rajasthan, Bihar, Nagaland and Mizoram have sent utilization certificate for some of the funds released to them, but the others are yet to send UCs (Annexure-XXIII). States are requested to send UCs. If funds remain unspent, proposal for revalidation of sanction may be sent to DAC immediately. ***** 12 Annexure-I STATEMENT SHOWING THE DEMAND VIS-À-VIS CONSUMPTION OF CHEMICAL PESTICIDES DURING 2010-11 & PROJECTED DEMAND FOR 2011-12 M.T.
