Benefits of using pesticides
Improving productivity of crops.
Increased profits for farmers.
Improve quality of food.
Pesticides can also help control
harmful pests, diseases, and
invasive plants that can impact
crops.
Adverse effect or disadvantage of using pesticides
85%
The pesticide industries cause pollution of soil, water and air.
The pesticidal residue washed along with rain water, is added to
the nearby water resources making it unfit for drinking.

Conclusion
Pesticides play a crucial role in increasing agricultural
productivity by controlling pests and diseases that can damage
crops.
Pesticides can have adverse effects on human health, such as
acute poisoning and long-term chronic health issues.
There are environmental concerns associated with pesticides,
including their impact on non-target organisms, water quality,
and soil health.
Continued research and regulation are essential to minimize the
adverse effects of pesticides while maximizing their benefits in
agriculture.
