Great Usefulness and Effectiveness of Pesticide in Agriculture

Abstract

resulted in improved yield and greater availability of food, at a reasonable price and over all seasons. By the use of pesticides in agriculture, the productivity has increased dramatically in most countries. The primary benefits are known as consequences of the direct pesticides’ effects such as protection of people, animal and crop health, and protection of recreational turf. The secondary benefits arise from primary and these are the less immediate, less intuitively obvious, or long-term consequences. Despite beneficial results of using pesticides in agriculture and public health sector, their use also invites deleterious environmental and public health effects. Pesticides hold a unique position among environmental contaminants due to their high biological activity and toxicity.
