Description

1. Introduction Agrochemicals are integral part of current agriculture production systems around the world. Accordingly, the use of agrochemicals viz fertilizers and pesticides remain a common practice particularly in many nations in the tropical world [1]. Pesticides like 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) which are environmentally persistent prohibited from use in developed nations continue to be most widely used pesticides in developing countries including Ghana because they are cheap, easy to synthesis or they are given by developed nations. Many pressure groups, example, Consumer Associations, Non-governmental Organizations and International bodies are against the presence of these persistent pesticides in the environment. They perceive the presence of pesticide residues in the environment as detrimental to human health and water quality.
