3. Methodology:
The familiar leafy vegetables, Kankun (Ipomoea aquatica), Sarana (Boerhavia diffusa), Mukunuwenna (Alternanthera sessilis) and Gotukola (Centella asiatica) were treated with different classes of common insecticides in the country- endosulfan (chlorinated hydrocarbon), carbofuran (systemic carbamate), chloropyriphos, quinalphos and profenofos (organophosphates). These insecticides were mixed and sprayed at normal and double the normal dose. Carbofuran, a granular formulation, was however mixed with soil before planting. Crops were harvested (i) 2 h and (ii) 14 days after the final spraying. In the case of Sarana an additional harvest was done 3 days after the final spraying to monitor the rate of disappearance of residues.
