The agriculture department's vigilance cell has detected chemical traces in supposedly organic fertilisers, raising concerns about the integrity of the organic farming industry. Cases have been registered when chemical levels exceeding 1 part per million (PPM) are found in bio pesticides and organic fertilisers. Farmers are urged to exercise caution when purchasing these products to avoid substandard or counterfeit items. Over the past five years, numerous cases of fake/sub-standard seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides have been reported in the state, leading to the suspension and cancellation of licenses of traders involved in such activities.
