THE IMPACT OF PESTICIDES ON AGRICULTURE CROPS

Abstract

This research study investigates the multifaceted impact of pesticide use in modern agriculture. Pesticides have played a crucial role in increasing crop yields and mitigating pest-related losses, contributing to global food security. However, concerns have arisen about their potential adverse effects on the environment, human health, and biodiversity. This review examines the latest scientific literature, encompassing both short-term and long-term consequences of pesticide application. The research analyzes the ecological consequences of pesticide use, including its impact on non-target organisms, such as beneficial insects, birds, and aquatic life. Furthermore, it delves into the persistence and bioaccumulation of pesticides in soil and water bodies, leading to potential contamination in the food chain.
