The present study was conducted with the aim to identify estimates and risk assessment for the pesticide residue present in vegetables, soil, and water in Haryana, India. In the present study, environmental monitoring of commonly sprayed 161 pesticides was done using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for 102 vegetables, 46 soil, and 50 water samples collected from four districts in Haryana, India. A total of 198 samples were analyzed for the presence of pesticide residue and the measured pesticide concentrations were compared with the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and European regulations. The pesticide residues were detected in 31 vegetable samples (30.39%), 44 soil samples (95.65%), and 34 water samples (68.0%). Chlorpyrifos, cypermethrin, pendimethalin, and butachlor were the most frequently detected pesticides. The health risk indices (HRI) for triazophos and chlorpyrifos pesticides in vegetable samples ranged from 1.16 to 2.76 mg/kg that can cause significant health concerns. The present study can provide valuable insights and awareness for policymakers, authorities, farmers, and consumers.

Mefentrifluconazole was the first novel isopropyl alcohol triazole fungicide. Existing research indicated that mefentrifluconazole had high activity and low toxicity, presenting potential for monocase application, while limited data existed on its enantioselective dissipation in crops. Here, after confirming the absolute configuration, the enantioselective dissipation and risk assessments of chiral mefentrifluconazole in soybeans, peanuts, tomatoes, grapes, and soil were conducted.

Salinity stress poses a significant threat to crop production due to rapid soil salinization as a consequence of climate change. Brinjal, a vital and resilient vegetable crop with extensive genetic variation, exhibits a diverse range of salt tolerance responses. Salt-tolerant and susceptible brinjal genotypes were assessed for their differential tolerance mechanisms under 8 dS m salinity.

Organic agriculture is expanding worldwide, driven by expectations of improving food quality and soil health. However, while organic certification by regulatory bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture and the European Union confirms compliance with organic standards that prohibit synthetic chemical inputs, there is limited oversight to verify that organic practices, such as the use of authentic organic fertilizer sources, are consistently applied at the field level. This study investigated the elemental content of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and their stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) in seven different crops grown under organic or conventional practices to assess their applicability as a screening tool to verify the authenticity of organic labeled produce.
