&lt;em&gt;Farm activists, environmentalists spar with pesticide companies over cause of more than 40 deaths&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mumbai: &lt;/em&gt;The deaths of over 40 farmers and farm workers in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Vidarbha region since July has put the spotlight on the abuse of pesticides and lack of protection for those spraying them, even as a committee investigating the case prepares to submit its findings this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seven-member special investigation team (SIT) formed by the Maharashtra government to find the cause of farm deaths is likely to submit its report this week, a member of the SIT, who did not want to be named told Mint. The panel was set up on 13 October and given three weeks to complete the investigation. The SIT member cited above said the team has met all stakeholders and nearly completed its probe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, the SIT has come under pressure from two broad sections of stakeholders. Pesticide poisoning deaths have triggered a bitter battle between farm activists, environmentalists, non-government organizations, and advocates of organic farming on the one side and pesticide companies and some sector experts on the other. The activists have held pesticide companies and also genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton seeds including illegally sold herbicide tolerant (HT) seeds responsible for the spate of pesticide poisoning cases. But pesticide companies and experts have cautioned the SIT against arriving at &amp;ldquo;populist conclusions not based on scientific data&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.1 million hectares on average&amp;mdash;and Yavatmal district alone has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.5 lakh hectares on average. Vidarbha alone accounts for 1.6 million hectares under cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Vidarbha and Marathwada alone account for 65% of cotton cultivation in Maharashtra,&amp;rdquo; said a senior official from the Pune-based directorate of agriculture. In the 2017 kharif season, both Maharashtra and Yavatmal districts saw larger than average area come under cotton cultivation&amp;mdash;more than 4.2 million hectares in Maharashtra and 4.70 lakh hectares in Yavatmal district, according to the directorate of agriculture. &amp;ldquo;There has been a significant increase in cotton cultivation this season. In the 2016 kharif season, cotton was grown in 3.8 million hectares in Maharashtra because farmers moved towards pulses, especially tur (black pigeon). But since farmers did not get a good remunerative price for tur, they moved back to cotton this year,&amp;rdquo; the official said.&lt;br /&gt;

The panel was set up on 13 October and given three weeks to complete the investigation. The SIT member cited above said the team has met all stakeholders and nearly completed its probe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the SIT has come under pressure from two broad sections of stakeholders. Pesticide poisoning deaths have triggered a bitter battle between farm activists, environmentalists, non-government organizations, and advocates of organic farming on the one side and pesticide companies and some sector experts on the other. The activists have held pesticide companies and also genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton seeds including illegally sold herbicide tolerant (HT) seeds responsible for the spate of pesticide poisoning cases. But pesticide companies and experts have cautioned the SIT against arriving at &amp;ldquo;populist conclusions not based on scientific data&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maharashtra has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.1 million hectares on average&amp;mdash;and Yavatmal district alone has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.5 lakh hectares on average.

In the 2017 kharif season, both Maharashtra and Yavatmal districts saw larger than average area come under cotton cultivation&amp;mdash;more than 4.2 million hectares in Maharashtra and 4.70 lakh hectares in Yavatmal district, according to the directorate of agriculture. &amp;ldquo;There has been a significant increase in cotton cultivation this season. In the 2016 kharif season, cotton was grown in 3.8 million hectares in Maharashtra because farmers moved towards pulses, especially tur (black pigeon).

&lt;em&gt;Farm activists, environmentalists spar with pesticide companies over cause of more than 40 deaths&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mumbai: &lt;/em&gt;The deaths of over 40 farmers and farm workers in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Vidarbha region since July has put the spotlight on the abuse of pesticides and lack of protection for those spraying them, even as a committee investigating the case prepares to submit its findings this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seven-member special investigation team (SIT) formed by the Maharashtra government to find the cause of farm deaths is likely to submit its report this week, a member of the SIT, who did not want to be named told Mint. The panel was set up on 13 October and given three weeks to complete the investigation. The SIT member cited above said the team has met all stakeholders and nearly completed its probe.&lt;br /&gt;

The activists have held pesticide companies and also genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton seeds including illegally sold herbicide tolerant (HT) seeds responsible for the spate of pesticide poisoning cases. But pesticide companies and experts have cautioned the SIT against arriving at &amp;ldquo;populist conclusions not based on scientific data&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.1 million hectares on average&amp;mdash;and Yavatmal district alone has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.5 lakh hectares on average.

&lt;em&gt;Farm activists, environmentalists spar with pesticide companies over cause of more than 40 deaths&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mumbai: &lt;/em&gt;The deaths of over 40 farmers and farm workers in Maharashtra&amp;rsquo;s Vidarbha region since July has put the spotlight on the abuse of pesticides and lack of protection for those spraying them, even as a committee investigating the case prepares to submit its findings this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A seven-member special investigation team (SIT) formed by the Maharashtra government to find the cause of farm deaths is likely to submit its report this week, a member of the SIT, who did not want to be named told Mint. The panel was set up on 13 October and given three weeks to complete the investigation. The SIT member cited above said the team has met all stakeholders and nearly completed its probe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, the SIT has come under pressure from two broad sections of stakeholders. Pesticide poisoning deaths have triggered a bitter battle between farm activists, environmentalists, non-government organizations, and advocates of organic farming on the one side and pesticide companies and some sector experts on the other. The activists have held pesticide companies and also genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton seeds including illegally sold herbicide tolerant (HT) seeds responsible for the spate of pesticide poisoning cases. But pesticide companies and experts have cautioned the SIT against arriving at &amp;ldquo;populist conclusions not based on scientific data&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maharashtra has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.1 million hectares on average&amp;mdash;and Yavatmal district alone has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&amp;mdash;4.5 lakh hectares on average. Vidarbha alone accounts for 1.6 million hectares under cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Vidarbha and Marathwada alone account for 65% of cotton cultivation in Maharashtra,&amp;rdquo; said a senior official from the Pune-based directorate of agriculture.

<em>Farm activists, environmentalists spar with pesticide companies over cause of more than 40 deaths<br />
<br />
Mumbai: </em>The deaths of over 40 farmers and farm workers in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Vidarbha region since July has put the spotlight on the abuse of pesticides and lack of protection for those spraying them, even as a committee investigating the case prepares to submit its findings this week.<br />
<br />
A seven-member special investigation team (SIT) formed by the Maharashtra government to find the cause of farm deaths is likely to submit its report this week, a member of the SIT, who did not want to be named told Mint. The panel was set up on 13 October and given three weeks to complete the investigation. The SIT member cited above said the team has met all stakeholders and nearly completed its probe.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the SIT has come under pressure from two broad sections of stakeholders. Pesticide poisoning deaths have triggered a bitter battle between farm activists, environmentalists, non-government organizations, and advocates of organic farming on the one side and pesticide companies and some sector experts on the other. The activists have held pesticide companies and also genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton seeds including illegally sold herbicide tolerant (HT) seeds responsible for the spate of pesticide poisoning cases. But pesticide companies and experts have cautioned the SIT against arriving at &ldquo;populist conclusions not based on scientific data&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
Maharashtra has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&mdash;4.1 million hectares on average&mdash;and Yavatmal district alone has the largest area under cotton cultivation in India&mdash;4.5 lakh hectares on average. Vidarbha alone accounts for 1.6 million hectares under cotton.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Vidarbha and Marathwada alone account for 65% of cotton cultivation in Maharashtra,&rdquo; said a senior official from the Pune-based directorate of agriculture. In the 2017 kharif season, both Maharashtra and Yavatmal districts saw larger than average area come under cotton cultivation&mdash;more than 4.2 million hectares in Maharashtra and 4.70 lakh hectares in Yavatmal district, according to the directorate of agriculture. &ldquo;There has been a significant increase in cotton cultivation this season. In the 2016 kharif season, cotton was grown in 3.8 million hectares in Maharashtra because farmers moved towards pulses, especially tur (black pigeon). But since farmers did not get a good remunerative price for tur, they moved back to cotton this year,&rdquo; the official said.<br />
