the widely used herbicide glyphosate.
From now on, glyphosate will only be administered through pest control operators (PCOs
).
Glyphosate has been banned
in some Indian states.

.
An official communiqué on this restriction was recently published
.
More than two years ago, a draft of the restriction was circulated for comment

Although not explicitly mentioned in the official notice, many experts believe that the initiative is to curb farmers' wanton use
of glyphosate.
Glyphosate is mainly used in India to control weed problems
in tea plantations.
The chemical is also used in non-crop areas to control unwanted growth

These areas include irrigation channels, railway feeders, fallow land, embankments, farm boundaries, parks, industrial and military installations, airports, power stations, etc

Glyphosate traces have been found in dried agricultural products in India, and some farmers even use glyphosate to dry their produce

Kalyan Goswami, Director General of the Agricultural Chemicals Federation of India (ACFI), said: "The biggest concern at the moment is that there is no pest control operating system in the growing areas and this order will inevitably cause chaos
on the ground.
Second, the participation of PCOs will add additional costs to a large extent, so this is not a farmer-centric measure at all
