Unseen and hidden effects of pesticides: pesticide suppress natural soil fertilizers.

Our new study in @NaturePortfolio demonstrates that pesticides suppress the natural nutrient uptake capacity of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi with 42%.

nature.com/articles/s4155…
This result is important because 70% of all land plants and many crops form a beneficial symbiosis with #mycorrhizal fungi. The fungi supply nutrients to the plant in return for sugars and fatty acids. They do this through highly sophisticated arbuscules in plant cells.
This study confirms our previous study showing that the abundance of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi is strongly and negatively linked to the number of pesticides in arable soils.

"The world may be facing a devastating 'hidden' #collapse in insect species due to the twin threats of #ClimateChange and habitat loss."

theconversation.com/climate-change… #ClimateCrisis #BiodiversityCrisis
"Our findings, published today in Nature, reveal that insect declines are greatest in farmland areas within tropical countries – where the combined effects of climate change and habitat loss are experienced most profoundly."
"Throughout the world, our analysis also shows that farmland in climate-stressed areas where most nearby natural habitat has been removed has lost 63% of its insects,on average,compared with as little as 7% for farmland where the nearby natural habitat has been largely preserved"

विषवल्ली मुळातून उखडून फेका - अमर हबीब
आवश्यक वस्तू कायद्यातून शेतीमाल वगळला, बाजार नियंत्रणे हटवली याचे हे आंदोलन स्वागत करीत आहे पण ही वेळ इतक्या संथपणे आणि बिचकत पाऊले उचलायची नाही. देशाला आर्थिक डबघाईतुन बाहेर काढण्यासाठी ठाम आणि तत्पर पाऊले उचलायची आवश्यकता आहे. #AmarHabib
आवश्यक वस्तू कायदा या विषारी झाडाच्या चार फांद्या कापुन उपयोगाचे नाही, ही विषवल्ली मुळातून उखडून फेकायला हवी.
केंद्र सरकारने आवश्यक वस्तू कायद्यातून शेतीमाल वगळण्याचा निर्णय घेतला. आम्ही त्याचे स्वागत करतो पण हा संपूर्ण कायदा रद्द करायला हवा या मागणीचा आग्रह करीत आहोत. #ECA
सरकारच्या निर्णयाबद्दल आमचे तीन आक्षेप.
1.आवश्यक वस्तू कायद्यात दोन हजाराहून अधिक वस्तू पैकी अनेकांचा शेतकऱ्यांशी प्रत्यक्ष व अप्रत्यक्ष संबंध येतो. त्यावर निर्बंध ठेवून फक्त शेतीमाल वगळणे पुरेसे नाही. उदा मोटार वाहतूक कायदा परिशिष्ट नऊ मध्ये कायम राहिला #MotorVehicleAct #ECA
