The gas chromatography technique (Shimadzu model) was used to evaluate 40 samples of each oilseed. Three out of 40 samples, confined residues of carbendazim, mancozeb and emamectin benzoate in groundnut and two out of 40 samples, confined residues of carbendazim and mancozeb in mustard, which is above the Maximum residue limit (MRL) values. The study's results help to improve awareness of the pesticide residue problem in the area, enable the creation of practical mitigation plans, and lay the groundwork for further study and policy development in this field.
