The present study was conducted to find the organophosphorus pesticide (OPP) residues in fodder samples along Musi river belt, India. Fodder samples collected from the six zones of Musi river belt, Hyderabad India were analyzed by gas chromatography with electron capture detector and pulsated flame photometric detector for the presence of OPP residues. The gas chromatographic analysis of fodder samples of Zone II, III, IV and VI of Musi river showed the residues of phorate at concentration of 0.42 ± 0.001 (0.421-0.428), 0.05 ± 0.02 (0.026-0.101), 0.27 ± 0.23 (0.01-0.561) and 0.36 ± 0.01 (0.369-0.385) ppm respectively. The residues of Dichlorovas, Quinolphos, Methyl parathion, Fenitrotion, Profenphos, Ethion, Phosalone, Lambda Cyhalotrin were below the detection limit in the remaining fodder samples collected from Musi river belt in the present study.
