Abstract
An attempt has been made to create awareness in respect of agricultural pol-lution. The level of global communication resulting from the use of biocides has as-sumed an alarming dimension. Almost everybody in the world has a measurable amount of toxic chemicals. Similarly, use of fertilizer is recognized as a potential source of environmental pollution, specifically with respect to water quality. It is feared that continued fertilizer leaching, may render groundwater unfit for drinking. A need for abatement of the agricultural pollution is emphasized. General remedies as well as a programme of formal education are suggested,
