      Question

      The Pesticides Management Bill, 2025 was released for

      public consultation in January 2026. Which existing law does it seek to replace?
      A The Fertilizer Control Order, 1985 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The Seeds Act, 1966 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The Insecticides Act, 1968 and the Insecticides Rules, 1971 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The Environmental Protection Act, 1986 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The Plant Quarantine Order, 2003 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Pesticides Management Bill, 2025 seeks to replace the Insecticides Act, 1968 and the Insecticides Rules, 1971, which no longer meet current regulatory, safety, and governance requirements. The draft proposes a single, centralised regulatory framework covering the entire pesticide lifecycle — from manufacture, import, and labelling to sale, transport, use, and disposal. A new Seed Act is also separately on the anvil.
