The study was conducted from October to December 2015 in Kanpur region, U.P. to survey on agricultural pests and predators on cole crops (cabbage and cauliflower).Cole crops are a large and increasingly important crop groups. A number of insects feed exclusively on cole crops and affect all of the crops. A survey was conducted at four sites (COD, Katri, Pukhrayan and Ghatampur) in Kanpur region and inspected in two types of field i.e. insecticides sprayed field and organic field (unsprayed). The present study resulted that a small number of predators and some pests were found in pesticides sprayed field of cole crops due to chemical pesticides and in organic field large quantity of predators but few pests were recorded in cole crops. These crops were the focus of the study because they are locally important to organic growers.Keywords
Pests, Predators, Cole Crops.

The survey was conducted during October 2015 to January 2016 among the farmers of four villages, viz., Bithoor, Pukharayan, Ghatampur and Kalyanpur in Kanpur region, Central Uttar Pradesh. The study revealed that maximum 75 per cent farmers were engaged in cultivation of cruciferous vegetables viz., cauliflower, cabbage, radish, turnip with other crops in Bithoor, Kalyanpur and Ghatampur whereas only 60 per cent were cultivating these crops in Pukhrayan. Out of total respondents of farmers from Kanpur districts, 82 per cent farmers were using chemical pesticides (mainly carabryl 50WP, Malathion 50EC, Cartap hydrochloride 0.5 % and dichlorvos 100EC) whereas 16 per cent used indigenous methods (chili powder spray, fly ash powder spray) along with chemical pesticides and 2 per cent were using biopesticides (azadirachtin, 5%). This paper explores potentials and limitations of different approaches to study pesticide use in agriculture from the farmers’ perspective. In contrast to the reductionist and mono-disciplinary approaches often adopted, this paper calls for integrative methodological approaches to provide a realistic and thorough understanding of the farmers’ perspective on pesticide in four sites of Kanpur.Keywords
