Pesticides and Its role: A review
Authors
Rohit Roy
Abstract
Pesticides, which include
a wide range of compounds such as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, are
essential in modern agriculture and pest control operations. This abstract
delves into the varied nature of pesticides, showing their classification and
global occurrence. Herbicides, which account for half of all pesticide use,
primarily function as plant protection chemicals, protecting crops from weed
threats. Pesticides have the overarching goal of deterring, incapacitating, or
eliminating pests, which can range from insects and plant pathogens to animals
and disease vectors. While pesticides offer essential benefits by protecting
crops, preventing the spread of diseases, and controlling nuisance pests, they
are not without drawbacks. Potential toxicity to humans and unintended
environmental impacts pose significant challenges.
