ABSTRACT:

Chemical pesticides are used by both lay farmers and commercial producers to kill pests and weeds and eliminate illnesses on their farms in order to increase production. Whereas pesticides have certain advantages in terms of increased output, their haphazard and excessive usage has a negative impact on the environment and human health. The current state of pesticide use does not appear to be adequate so-called safe pesticides are also exhibiting negative long-term consequences, and problems such as bio-accumulation and bio-magnification are becoming more severe by the day.
