Abstract:
The initial investigation of pesticides using cultivation of medical plants in ThietTru, BinhMinh, KhoaiChau, HungYen was reported. Almost pesticides in common use for cultivation of medicinal plants there were recorded and classified. The results of investigation showed that they were often used extensively and in a wrong way. although the Organo-chlorine pesticides (except endosulfan) were no longer in use but at least one prohibited pesticide (methamidophos) were still illegally overused. Further investigation in broader areas for some other localities should be undertaken for systematical evaluation of pesticides use in the cultivation of medicinal plants, and especially its impact. Residual pesticides in herbal medicines should be determined as well, since then, some active measure of management and method of control will be proposed in order to strengthen the quality assurance of this precious resource of medicines.
