Pesticides' striking effort in preventing crop loss has led to their acceptance and expanded use throughout the world. However improper and injudicious use of pesticide leaves harmful pesticide residues on the crop and soil. Pesticide residues are regularly tested by the monitoring system .Pesticide residues may pose significant risks to human beings and environment if it exceeds the maximum residues levels (MRLs). Insecticides Deltamethrin and Profenofos are widely used for the control of various insects in crops. Understanding the adsorption, desorption and mobility of these pesticide metabolites is an important aspect of assessing the environmental fate of pesticides. Therefore, keeping in view of the above discussions the available literature is related to residues of Deltamethrin and Profenofos in crops and soil has been reviewed.
Key words: Deltamethrin ,Profenofos , MRLs, Pesticide residues
