Hi,

Hope you are doing well!

As per the government direction, you need to have license to sell pesticides or fertilisers must have a degree in Agriculture, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Botany or Zoology.

The degree has been made compulsory to run pesticide shops. This is because farmers donot have proper knowledge on seed types.They do not know the time and quantity to spray pesticides.That is the reason why new traders have to guide the farmers regarding these issues.

Hope it helps.

All the best for your future.
