Introduction
Pesticides are chemicals used in private gardens, on agricultural land, and in other public areas to kill unwanted organisms. Insecticides in water sources adversely affect both the environment and humans.

Pesticide is a common term that describes many groups of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, garden chemicals, household pesticides and rodenticides used to destroy and protect against pests.
The three most common types of pesticides include:
(i) the chemical composition of the pesticide,
(ii) the entry point, and
(iii) the action of the pesticide and the organisms that kill it.
Chemical pesticides are classified into four types depending on their source: carbamate, organophosphate, organochlorine, and pyrethroid pesticides.
There is another category of pesticides called biopesticides, which are naturally occurring or naturally occurring especially in living organisms such as plants, fungi, bacteria, etc. Biopesticide pesticides are divided into three main groups: biochemical pesticides, micro-pesticides, and integrated plant protectors.
Benefits of pesticide
1. Pesticides help farmers to produce more with less space.
2. Pesticides help farmers to produce more with less space.
3. Pesticides help keep food accessible.
4. Pesticides help reduce waterborne diseases and pests.
5. Pesticides help conserve the environment.
6. Herbicides remove the difficulty of weeding by hand.
7. Pesticides have transformed developing lands into food producers.
8. Protected protection.Impact
Pesticide control agents affect water quality
Contamination that occurs as contamination within the active ingredient.
Ingredients that work in the manufacture of pesticides.
Deteriorating compounds that have caused the background or microbial duration, or chemical degradation and imagery of active components.
A mixture of additives with active ingredients (preservatives, emulsifier moisturizers, solvents or detergents, adhesives and adhesives).
Guidelines for food and drinking water are measured by risk assessment. Generally,
Risk = Exposure (amount and / or duration) × Toxicity
Pesticide decomposition may produce harmful products that may be less toxic, equal, or greater than the original pesticides.
Pesticides affect human health and dangerous levels
Causes
1. Importing Insecticides that are considered contaminated with food or water.
2. Inhalation of dust or inhalation
3. Contact with the skin Managing pesticides
Pesticides are involved in a variety of organic pollutants that have adverse effects on the environment. Several groups of pesticides have some form of polluting the organism, which is why making it difficult to make it easier.
Harmful disease caused
Numerous illnesses, including cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, sterility, and developmental abnormalities have been related to repeated exposure to pesticides, even in low amounts.
Genetic alterations and severe neurological diseases can result from repeated exposure to pesticides.
Studies have even connected pesticides to conditions including ADHD, melancholy, anxiety, and asthma.
Prevention
1. Appropriate application
Pesticides should be used only in the right weather conditions and the recommended installation methods. Spraying recommendations issued by local governments are beneficial in this regard.
2. Proper maintenance
The best way to prevent accidental bloodshed is to keep pesticides in a fire-resistant, non-spill-free system. And it is less expensive compared with the cost of cleaning up the effects of accidents, bloodshed, or fires.
3. Appropriate front and back procedures
Pesticide contamination can be avoided in a variety of ways, including the selection of appropriate pesticides, adequate mixing of pesticides, and loading methods. Preparing the seed bed and planting allows the plants to germinate faster, thereby reducing seasonal diseases and pest infections as well as reducing the use of pesticides.
4. Water protection and treatment
Toxic compounds in pesticides and herbicides endanger both the environment and human health. These substances are very harmful to humans, animals, aquatic animals and plants.
5. Choose alternatives that are less toxic
Pesticides are used to kill or control the insects mentioned. The “selective” pesticides destroy only a few living things that are closely linked.
Alternatives to pesticide
1. BIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
Biological control, also referred to as Bio-Control, is one eco-friendly substitute for a chemical pesticide. Although the concept of BioControl may initially seem intriguing and even terrifying, it has really been used in ancient China.
It entails using biopesticides, or the pests' natural enemies, to control the pest population. These enemies can be other insects, bacteria, or fungi.
Some of the advantages of employing biopesticides are:
1. strengthening crop quality
2. using less chemical pesticides
3. exclusively focus on the individual pest causing agricultural damage
4. reducing environmental pollution
2. PARTNER PLANTING
Companion planting is the technique of growing various crops together in the same field in gardening and agriculture. According to the reasoning underlying this technique, planting a certain plant might be a strategy to promote the crop because different plants may support one another's growth and output.
3. INTERGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT USE
Using a variety of techniques known as integrated pest management (IPM), pest issues can be resolved while posing the fewest threats to people and the environment.
The best biological, chemical, and cultural techniques that are intended to be environmentally friendly and sustainable are used as part of an effective IPM programme.
