Preamble

With the advancement of science to harness elements of nature for food production, modern agriculture has utilised the agro-chemicals for harvesting high crop yield. The pestilence in crops due to herbivory by insects, mites, nematodes, disease-causing pathogens etc. hampers the aspiration to achieve high crop yields due to loss of metabolic energy in crops and consequent loss of commodities in terms of both quality and quantity. The crop loss of commodities could be prevented by the judicious and scientific application of pesticides to remove the target pests from the site of damage in crops. These noxious organisms tend to debilitate crop plants in their growth and reproductive phase so as to challenge the total requirements of crop commodities for human communities.

Pesticides have been discovered as toxic chemical entities that arrest the overwhelming multiplication of pests in crops. The significant advocacy of use of agrochemicals such as pesticides is to enable higher metabolic rate of crop plants by saving them from pest attack and enable profitable yield of crop commodities per unit area from crop land. The judiciousness of pesticide-use in good agricultural practices (GAP) has been enunciated. The time, dosage and rate of application of such substances in crops have been worked out and prescribed under location-specific agro-ecologies in the country. It is important to understand that risk perception and assessment of pesticides in crop commodities are part of the evaluation process while discovering pesticide chemistries and prescribing their use against specific pest (s) or groups of such pests in crops. The packages of practices that are published by state agricultural universities (SAUs)and by the Department of Agriculture/ Horticulture of states in the country are given out after suitable review every year to farmers for taking up profitable crop production. In order to prevent injudiciousness in the use of agro-chemicals in crop fields, specific advisory programmes and awareness stewardship are in practices in all states.

The Insecticide Act, 1968 limits the label claim of registrants to those crops for which labels are sought by submitting the relevant data sets for scrutiny and approval. However, these pesticides are used for biotic stress management in many crops thathave no label claims for the given pesticides that are used in many crops. In order to follow good agriculture practices in Indian agriculture, the legal use of pesticide in crops is to be ensured. Crop grouping is a step forward in this direction to enable processes to expand label claims to those crops where the given pesticide has effective role in pest management. Similarly, the non-recommended and non-approved use of pesticides in crops could be brought under present legal frame work by applying the crop grouping principles. It is mandated under the Insecticide Act to seek label claim of a pesticide substance under registration on given crop

6 species to fix maximum residue limit (MRL) and safe waiting period. By applying the principles of crop grouping that this Committee has undertaken and by applying the same value of maximum residue limit of the given pesticide substance in the related crop(s) under the proposed crop grouping, maximum residue limits of pesticides in such crops that have no label claim for those pesticides shall be possible after studying the possible pesticide dissipation pattern under their growing conditions.

Such pesticide residue risk assessment process in commodities shall avoid creation of separate data sets for each of those new crops where label claim for these pesticides shall be possible. Such pesticide residue-risk management process in commodities shall avoid creation of separate data sets for each of the new crops where label expansion is being proposed. In this regard, the Committee deemed it right to rely on the documents (with broad principles on this subject) of the Codex Committee for Pesticide Residues (CCPR) of the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation (UN-FAO). The prescribed CCPR steps for developing agreed-recommendations to Joint Committee for Pesticide Residues (JMPR) in which experts of UN-FAO and UN-WHO jointly perform the risk assessment and further recommended to the CCPR for adoption of MRL. India has adequate interest in such developments in World Trade Order (WTO) developments and is working towards aligning her domestic crop profiles and risk assessment parameters and protocols that would accommodate the principles of CCPR-originated concept of crop grouping.

The Department of Agriculture & Co-operation, vide letter No.17-4/96-PP 1 (Vol. III-E) dated 1st March, 2013 has constituted the present Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr T.P.Rajendran, former ICAR-Assistant Director General (Plant Protection) and present Officer on Special Duty, National Biotic Stress Management, Raipur (Chhattisgarh), along with Dr S.N.Sushil, Plant Protection Advisor; Dr. K.K.Sharma, Network Coordinator, ICAR- All India Network Project on Pesticide Residues; Dr.B.S.Phogat, Asst. Plant Protection Advisor & Secretary (CIB & RC) , Dr.A.Madhavan, Food Safety Standards Authority of India and Dr. P.S.Chandurkar, DAC-Consultant studied the aspects of grouping within the draft principles of CCPR on crop grouping through its six sittings.

Introduction

India has granted registration to use 251 pesticides, including biological pesticides of biological origin (microbial, plant origin) as on date. However, all the 550-odd crops grown in India, do not have label claims to all these pesticides. The registration process of pesticides in the country become paramount risk-perception mechanism since all aspects of known hazards of the pesticide chemical formulation entity is examined for potential threats to living systems / agro-biodiversity (including impact on humans) as well as to the consumer

7 community of domestic animals and humans. Informed decision is arrived at through the examination of scientific data generated under prescribed scientific protocols, methodologies and evaluation techniques that leave no room for any lapse or gap in identifying threats of biological significance to human beings as consumers of both raw and cooked food items. In the new millennium with the world trade order (WTO) facilitating global trade of agricultural commodities there has been impressionable examination of risk in traded food commodities amongst nations. Often, the trade negotiations remain inconclusive on the perceived threats of pesticide contamination that the food items may carry at the port of entry. Elaborate principles are laid out in the Codex Alimantarius Commission (CAC) that attempt to align and streamline the global standards of risk evaluation and mitigation in regard to toxicants in food, particularly that of pesticides which are commonly used for crop protection and achieve high production.

The Codex Committee of Pesticide Residues (CCPR) of United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation (UN-FAO) dwells annually on the discussion amongst nations for fixing Codex maximum residue limits (Cx MRLs) in target crop commodities that are proposed by nations based on their domestic pesticide use pattern under GAP and monitoring those on time scale in marketed commodities. The Joint FAO / WHO meeting on pesticide residues (JMPR) examine and finalise MRL proposals and recommend for adoption to the CAC. The global trade community rely on the CAC adopted Cx MRLs of pesticides in order to finalise trade agreements between parties. In recent times, academic discussion amongst parties in CCPR turned towards linearization and harmonisation of MRLs of pesticides in groups of crop genera / species (CROP GROUPING) that have similar growing habitat as well as pesticide metabolism in both the crops and the agro-ecosystem in which they are grown. The prescribed CCPR steps for developing agreed recommendations on MRLs of pesticides on these crops result in recommendation to JMPR. In recent times, CCPR discussions are directed towards finalisation of the principles of Crop Grouping so as to enable JMPR to fix Cx MRLs for CAC to adopt. India has adequate interest in such WTO developments and is working towards aligning her domestic crop profiles and risk assessment parameters and protocols that would accommodate the principles of crop grouping.

This Committee prepared the crop commodity groups as per the CCPR guidelines of arranging Indian crops under Crop Types and Crop Groups / Crop Sub-groups.The resultant to this process is the creation of two separate documents; viz., (1) principles and guidance on the selection of representative commodities and (2) classification of crop commodities with representative commodities.

The useful input from Dr. K.K.Sharma, Dr. Subhash Kumar and the CIB secretariat enabled to collate the information on the large spread of Indian crops. These are given in the APPENDIX of this report.

Principles and Guidance on Crop Grouping

1. Principles and Guidance on Crop Grouping

The principles on which the Committee deliberated the various aspects of crop grouping are those that are in the CCPR discussion document on Crop Grouping. The crops with high cultivated area were the kept as the criteria for identifying as the representative crops of a

Crop Type and Crop Group / Crop Sub-group. The risk assessment of pesticide residues in groups of crop commodities, based on the pesticide-residue MRL value of the representative crop (s) is debated as scientific approach to maximise the Cx MRL fixation process. In most of the countries where cropping systems are followed by farmers for maximised land and other natural resource utilisation and for higher profitability, the off-label use of pesticides is substantial. In order to rationalise the risk assessment of pesticide residues based on MRLs, the current idea of Crop Grouping towards developing Group

MRLs of pesticides in use could be arrived at.

The Indian scenario has more complexities in the registration and use of pesticides. With over 540 crops that are grown in varying acreage in the national agro-ecologies, it is known that the label claim of pesticides manufacturers as registrants of their pesticide products is limited to those crops where large volume usage is prevalent. All other crops commodities where the same pesticide is applied as off-label or non-recommended usage has to be subjected to risk assessment of pesticide residues if they are under international trade. The absence of label claim by manufacturers make the farmers to be put to disadvantage with less option of pest management and bearing the risk of rejection in international trade due to the absence of country MRL for the pesticides that are used or detected on them. The manufacturers do not show interest for label expansion of their pesticides to those crops since they have to invest additionally for generating relevant data to fix country MRLs for them. In this background, the CCPR proposal to develop crop groups and try to study the risk assessment process by adopting the same MRL values of the principal representative crops to rest of them in the group is presently worked on.

Technical trade MRL of pesticides in commodities has been evolved as an instrument of negotiation and trade position by countries under the World Trade Order that is the practice

10 in the new millennium’s international trade practice. Generally the guidance document of

CCPR is followed in order to get alignment with this primary proposal. However, the General

Principles for crop grouping that is followed by the Codex classification of commodity group and sub-group to select representative crop of the group are as given below:

1) A representative commodity is most likely to contain the highest residues 2) A representative commodity is likely to be major in terms of production and consumption 3) A representative commodity is most likely similar in morphology; production practices; growth habit; pest problems; GAP for pesticide uses;residue behavior and edible portion so as to provide flexibility for setting (sub) group tolerances

The target commodity groups / subgroups are cultivated /produced in India in various states and Union Territories. This Committee deliberated upon these criteria and accepted that the

Codex classification of commodity group and sub-group is fairly applicable to Indian condition. The special consideration on certain crops of India’s significance was discusses under each group / subgroup and have been indicated as related to Indian agricultural situation.

Global commodity grouping for MRLs is further facilitated by the option to select the representative crop flexibly so as to use pesticide residue research of the country for the purpose of difference in dietary consumption and / or area under production. The precedence in selection of representative crop commodity shall have (a) prevalence of highest pesticides residues and (b) major in terms of production and /or consumption. The assumption to extrapolate residue levels of representative crop to other members of the group is that there will be no significant variation of residue values in either case, based on the same or comparable good agricultural practices (GAP) and other relevant available information on pesticide use. Case-by-case approach is called for situations where it does not fit well with growth habits, pest problems or morphology within one group / subgroup and 11 extrapolation beyond members of a commodity group may be inappropriate. The area under various crops in both field crop category (cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fodder and others) as well as horticultural crops (vegetables, fruits and spices & condiments) except floriculture and medicinal plants were collated from official government records. These crops have crop varieties developed by the national agricultural research and education system of Indian

Council of Agriculture Research under Ministry of Agriculture.

The maximum residue limit of given pesticide is indicative of the terminal residue at harvest and this shall be much lower at consumption due to storage environment, However, the daily intake-based threats of such pesticide concentration over long period of exposure in the body might give rise to any perceived health hazards under the given culinary practices to prepare edible form of food from the crops. Since the unknown health hazards are also on the reckoning and the consumer community has the right to voice such concerns, the

GAP-based commodity production for trade also ended up with discussion on into technical

MRL as trade negotiation terms in WTO.

Elaborate procedures through JMPR-CCPR under the joint WHO-FAO working system of risk assessment and interpretation for the CAC to decide on the Cx MRLs of pesticides in the designated commodities of interest in trade under WTO was evolved as a system for technical analyses under the agreed-protocols and residue definitions of the pesticide substance. The member countries could instil confidence in themselves through this system about the perception of health risks due to pesticide residues in both raw and processed agricultural commodities. India being signatory to WTO has taken the aforesaid measures earnestly and has developed appropriate Codex nodal point as well as technical team to address the arising and significant issues in our trade matters of agricultural commodities.

With the inter-ministerial network, majority of export commodities have been brought under the ambit of global trade frame-work of risk assessment for pesticide residues as in the case of JMPR-CCPR system where the member country has specific engagements in addition to that in the CAC.

In the recent years the deliberation on risk assessment of crop commodities that is grown in developing countries without label claim of pesticide manufacturing registrants did bring out the knowledge and information on the country-MRLs of the pesticides as well as relevant technical data to fix that. Due diligence to the inputs of all stakeholders including pesticide industry over the last few years in the CCPR brought about the concept of crop grouping as a means of associating national-MRLs of pesticide residues on those crops with those under the definitions of CCPR principles that are given in this report elsewhere. Such a system could more or less rectify the absence of national technical data information of pesticide residues in order to seek fixing of Cx MRLs. Several Asian nations along with India flag issues regarding the absence of MRLs of pesticides in such crops such as orphan crops and new crops that are introduced into countries as well as in those of low-volume high value crops that have low commercial interest for pesticide manufacturers; but the nation has strong trade interest. In different working groups of CCPR, this matter was deliberated and finally CCPR proposed the draft document on crop grouping.

Indian Crop Grouping Plan

2. Indian Crop Grouping Plan

India grows over five hundred and fifty four crops and are grouped in the Appendix-I into definitive Crop Types / Crop Groups / Crop Sub-groups. The present connotation and terminology that is in vogue such as annual field crop; viz., cereal crops, pulse crops, oilseeds crops, commercial crops such as fibre crops, spices, condiments, nuts, medicinal plants. Herbs, shrubs and trees from the spectrum of horticulture crop commodities. The interest of crop grouping to denote the pesticide MRL value in representative crop (s) within studying that on individual crop which may have no label claim for the given pesticide, but the Indian farmers use the pesticide on them to sustain commodity production. Indian situation of agriculture is different from the commercial agriculture in the west whose global marketing strategies through WTO system necessitated definitive regimentation on the commodity safety from potential contamination of pesticide residues. As mentioned elsewhere in this report, CCPR has representation from global stakeholders connected with agriculture including the pesticide industry. The pesticide industry as CCPR observers to intervene in the deliberations and provide substantial inputs towards developing consensus between parties on the pattern of pesticide risk assessment system that is relevant to agricultural commodities.

The Committee took time to identify the representative crops under the crop commodity group, as given in the Appendix-II. This list shall be subjected to amendments under varying situation of trade patterns, perception of risks on pesticide residues and also the introduction of new crops in the country for cultivation. The tabulated data brings out the crops under cultivation in India.

Observations of the Committee

This Committee carefully studied the implications of the CROP GROUPING of Indian crops for various India-specific pesticide residue-risk perception, risk assessment and risk mitigation in widely traded crop commodities which have implication and impact in Indian export sector. He following Appendix to this report provide the details of the scheme of crop grouping in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fodder crops and other field crops as well as in horticulture crops, viz., vegetables, fruits, spices & condiments.

One has to view these crop group categorisation (a) to define risk perceptions in terms of maximum residue limits of the pesticides used in crop production and used through good agricultural practices [GAP] or under stewardship programme for the national production of those commodity crop and (b) for guidance to pesticide manufacturers to develop data dossier for new pesticide registration for manufacture of either / or technical chemical active pesticide chemical ingredient or formulations thereof within the country. One can use the information on crop grouping contained in this report to work out the area under the representative crops in the country along with the value of MRLs of the pesticides with label claim in those crops. It is also useful to extend the MRL values of those representative crops scientifically to those that have label claim in those crops. The Indian pesticide industry may work together with the Registration Committee (RC) of the Central Insecticide Board (CIB) to generate required data sets for pesticides that have label claims in such crops which are experienced to have recommended use of such pesticides. This would result in fixing of

MRLs for such pesticides in these crops. Generating data for fixing MRL values of those pesticides having no label claims in crops by the pesticide industry would help farmers in the export trade of their commodities. Indian MRL values of such pesticides in the relevant crops are those that have no recommendations of pesticides for pest management, although farmers use pesticides to manage pests on them. When these are traded the pesticide MRL values become significant. An illustrative example of recent origin in the country is the curry leaf from a tree (Murrayakoenigii), grown in backyards of homes. As the name indicates, a flavouring condiment in southern states’ dishes, the export trade set up in the last five years or so a spurt in demand in various countries. This tree species was taken 16 up for commercial cultivation in large tract of lands in the early part of this century in southern districts of Tamil Nadu, part of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh by following fertilizer application and other horticultural practices. Major pest of the crop was Psylla, a sap sucking pest against which farmers took to systemic insecticide spraying that became challenging risk to consumers who used the raw leaf directly in curries. Today this orphan crop has to be owned by the pesticide industry to bring in data on pesticide dissipation and other related data to arrive at pesticide MRL values for all those chemicals to arrive at MRL values for all those pesticide that recommended under GAP.

A separate sub-group is created under CROP GROUPING [as given in Appendix] to see that the crop definition of MRL of the GAP recommended pesticides that are in use, if not recommended under GAP.

Research review on the pattern of dissipation of pesticides applied on the crops in these agro-ecologies is desired. This information would give better clarity on the process of human and animal health risk analysis of the pesticides on major crops that are grown under widely contrasting ecological environments. Specific research to generate data and information on the available gaps with respect to the dissipation behaviour of any pesticide substance including for its metabolites on any crop and soil on which it is grown may be taken up by the ICAR-AINP on Pesticide residues.

The issues in the fore-front of the pesticide regulatory system for the purpose of their registration to manufacture and use in agriculture were raised by various pesticide manufacturing associations. The representative crop on which all risk-perception data are created for examination by the regulatory bodies of both pesticide registration and risk evaluation (MRL fixation) could be taken up if this report on crop grouping is accepted by the government as equivalent document for this purpose. That would obviate circumscribing the existing guidelines and rules for this purpose. The response of Crop Life India and Crop

Care Federation of India on the draft of the committee’s compendium on Crop Grouping and the absence of suggestions to the Committee on the various aspects under the ToR was significantly noted.

Recommendation

In sum, the following core points may be considered as the recommendation of this committee.

a) Extrapolation of existing MRLs of the given pesticide substance to those crops

within the same Crop Group / Sub-group of crops and termed as Group MRL

within the principles and guidance.

b) Crop grouping needs to be reviewed, keeping in view the arising revision at

CCPR level.

c) The report of the Committee may be considered as the National document on

Crop Grouping with reference to the fixation of maximum residue limit (MRL) of

pesticides in agricultural commoditdies by the Food Safety Standard Authorty of

India.

CLASS A PRIMARY FOOD COMMODITIES OF PLANT ORIGIN

TYPE 1 FRUITS

Fruits are derived from many different kinds of perennial plants, trees and shrubs, usually cultivated. They consist mostly of the ripe, often sweet, succulent or pulpy developed plant ovary and its accessory parts, commonly and traditionally known as fruit. Exposure to pesticides is dependent on the particular part of the fruit used for food. Fruits may be consumed whole, after removal of the peel, or in part, and in the form of fresh, dried or processed products.

Fruits Group 001 Citrus Fruits (Group Letter Code FC)

Citrus fruits are produced on trees or shrubs of the family Rutaceae. Aromatic oily peel, globular form and interior segments of juice-filled vesicles characterize these fruits. The fruit is fully exposed to pesticides during the growing season. Post-harvest treatments with pesticides and liquid waxes may also be carried out to avoid deterioration during transport and distribution due to fungal diseases, insect pests or loss of moisture. The fruit pulp may be consumed in succulent form and as juice. The entire fruit may be used for preserves. Four subgroups are defined: Group 001A Lemons and Limes: Hybrids and related species similar to lemons and limes Group 001B Mandarins: Hybrids and related species similar to mandarins

Brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables and flowerhead brassicas are foods derived from the leafy heads, stems and immature inflorescences of plants belonging to the genus Brassica of the family Cruciferae. Although Kohlrabi does not comply fully with the description above, for convenience and because of the similarity in residue behaviour the commodity is classified in this group. Kohlrabi is a tuber-like enlargement of the stem. 34

The edible part of the crop is partly protected from pesticides applied during the growing season by outer leaves, or skin (Kohlrabi). The entire vegetable after discarding obviously decomposed or withered leaves may be consumed. It is proposed to divide this group in 3 subgroups:

Fruiting vegetables, Cucurbits Group 011 Fruiting vegetables, Cucurbits Group Letter Code VC

Group 011 Fruiting vegetables, Cucurbits are derived from the immature or mature fruits of various plants, belonging to the botanical family Cucurbitaceae: usually these are annual vines or bushes. These vegetables are fully exposed to pesticides during the period of fruit development.

The edible portion of those fruits of which the inedible peel is discarded before consumption is protected from most pesticides, by the skin or peel, except from pesticides with a systemic action.

The entire fruiting vegetable or the edible portion after discarding the inedible peel may be consumed in the fresh form or after processing. The entire immature fruit of some of the fruiting vegetables species may be consumed, whereas only the edible portion of the mature fruit of the same species, after discarding the then inedible peel, is consumed. The group Fruiting vegetables, Cucurbits is divided in 3 subgroups:

Fruiting vegetables, other than Cucurbits Group 012 Fruiting vegetables, other than Cucurbits Group Letter Code VO

Group 012 Fruiting vegetables, other than Cucurbits are derived from the immature and mature fruits of various plants, usually annual vines or bushes. Many plants of this group belong to the botanical family Solanaceae. This group does not include fruits of vegetables of the botanical family Cucurbitaceae or the pods of vegetables of the Leguminosae family. The vegetables of this group are fully exposed to pesticides applied during the period of fruit development, except those of which the edible portion is covered by husks, such as ground cherries (Physalis spp.). The latter fruiting vegetables are protected from most pesticides by the husk except from pesticides with a systemic action. The entire fruiting vegetable or the edible portion after discarding husks or peels may be consumed in a fresh form or after processing. Three subgroups are defined: Subgroup 12A Tomatoes

Subgroup 12B Pepper and pepper-like commodities Subgroup 12C Egg plant and egg plant-like commodities

Portion of the commodity to which the MRL applies (and which is analysed): Whole commodity afterremoval of stems.

LEGUME VEGETABLES

Group 014 LEGUME VEGETABLES Group Letter Code VP

Group 014. Legume vegetables are derived from the succulent seed and immature pods of leguminous plants commonly known as beans and peas.

Pods are fully exposed to pesticides during the growing season, whereas the succulent seed is protected within the pod from most pesticides, except pesticides with systemic action.

The succulent forms may be consumed as whole pods or as the shelled product. Immature soya bean is usually marketed and served with pods, but pods are not edible and only succulent seeds are eaten. This group contains 4 subgroups based on the morphology and growing practise:

Subgroup 14A Beans with pods

Subgroup 14B Peas with pods

Subgroup 14C Succulent beans without pods

Subgroup 14D Succulent peas without pods

Portion of the commodity to which the MRL applies (and which is analysed): Whole commodity, unless otherwise specified.

Group 015 PULSES Group Letter Code VD

Pulses are derived from the mature seeds, naturally or artificially dried, of leguminous plants known as beans (dry) and peas (dry). Pulses are dry seeds without the pods. The seeds in the pods are protected from most pesticides applied during the growing season except pesticides which show a systemic action. The dry beans and peas however are often exposed to post harvest treatments. The dry pulses are consumed after processing or household cooking. Commodities in this group are grouped in 2 subgroups:

Group 016 ROOT AND TUBER VEGETABLES

Group Letter Code VR

Group 016. Root and tuber vegetables are the starchy enlarged solid roots, tubers, corms or rhizomes, mostly subterranean, of various species of plants, mostly annuals.

The underground location protects the edible portion from pesticides applied to the aerial parts of the crop during the growing season; however the commodities in this group are exposed to pesticide residues from soil treatments and from foliar applications that can be washed away by rain and can move into the soil.

The entire vegetable may be consumed in the form of fresh or processed foods. This group contains 3 subgroups based on the morphology and growing practise:

Subgroup 16A Root vegetables

Subgroup 16B Tuberous and corm vegetables

Subgroup 16C Aquatic root and tuber vegetables

Portion of the commodity to which the MRL applies (and which is analysed): Whole commodity after removing tops. Removeadhering soil (e.g. by rinsing in running water or by gentle brushing of the dry commodity).
