Agriculture has gained increasing importance as a viable strategy for resource-limited people to generate additional income and to reduce their reliance on cash income for food.

Towards the reduction of release of toxic chemical and residue in vegetable production has been carried out in order to improve the quality of the crops and protect the environment.
