Abstract

Sustained Exposure to pesticides can leads to deterioration of sperm concentration, morphology and impaired motility which may result in infertility. Thats why present study was planned to investigate the semen quality among farmers exposed to pesticides. Fifty five male partners in between age group of 20 to 40 years of infertile couple attending infertility laboratory exposed with pesticides and other agricultural chemicals were included in this study .We divide infertile couples into two groups first group-Group I who had less than 5 years of exposure to pesticides and another group Group II of more than 5 to10 years of exposure to pesticides. All semen samples were analyzed within one hours of collection in accordance with the World Health Organization guidelines. The semen samples were processed for various parameters SMI and TFSC these parameters were calculated with the help of the instrument called SQA-IIB. TFSC of sperm was better with group I than group II (p 0.01.) The difference was statistically significant (p>0.05). SMI score is better in group I than group II (p 0.05). The difference was statistically significant (p>0.05).
