Pesticide residue was detected in eight vegetables samples and none of them showed the presence of pesticides above the maximum residue limit (MRL) notified by the centre under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act. No banned pesticides were detected in any of the vegetable sample,\u2019 the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Taking suo motu cognizance of a media report over alleged rampant use of banned pesticides in vegetables and fruits, the court asked the government to conduct tests.<\/p>\n<p>The report, quoting a study on use of banned pesticides, conducted by NGO Consumer Voice said the amount of pesticides used in India was as much as 750 times the European standards.<\/p>\n<p>Out of five internationally banned pesticides, four were found to be common in vegetables and fruits. These pesticides caused headache, affected fertility and were a threat to kidney and liver, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Advocate V.K.
