Abstract: About 70 per cent of pesticides are being used in developing countries like India and remaining 30 per cent in developed countries. In all respondents the insecticides were the most frequently used pesticides which accounted for bulk of share (59.17%) followed by fungicide (24.89%) and weedicides (15.29%) in total pesticides used. The large respondents (36.26%) used more than 9 liter active ingredient per hectare which was the highest quantity. In the cultivation of one hectare of paddy about 29.93 per cent of the pesticides applied belonged to Organophosphates category. Organochlorines comprised 15.78 per cent of total technical grade pesticides followed by Aclyurea compounds, Pyrethroids and Neoonicotinoids (11.95, 11.18 and 6.31%, respectively). Thus the respondents were found to use almost nearly 6% (296 rs) more to the optimal requirement. The independent variables included in model explained 80 per cent (small respondents), 70 per cent (medium respondents), 87 per cent (large respondents) and 77 per cent (all respondents) of total variation in expenditure on PPCs.
