An article on Pesticide in Coconut Water (Bullet
Points)
* Coconut farmers use a pesticide called " Monocrotophus
" to kill pests and insects and obtain a good yield
* Most of the Coconut farmers wait for 45 day for harvest of
their produce but some of the farmers harvest earlier for more money
* Kutch University in Rajasthan reports to have developed a
reagent to detect chemical residue in a coconut or fruit water
* The chemical reagent can be used by extracting coconut peel or
coconut water
* The colour of the coconut peel / coconut water would turn red
if the coconut water contains any pesticide
* The varsity has planned to commercialise the discovered
detection solution if it gets patent for its reagent
