All the compounds of environment including water, air and soil etc, are today in the graim grip of pollution that invites a big damage to civilization. Among various pollutants, sulphur dioxide, cloroflorocarbons-11 and 12, methane etc., are most prominent. These noxious elements move to environment by fossil fuel burning, automobile exhaust, seepage material and the applied pesticides which are utilized presently at mass level to protect crops, human and animal health. The indiscriminate use of pesticide has been giving serious blows to the environment and the worst days are unavoidable, if adequate measures are not done in this matter. In the present agriculture scenario of crop production and productivity of agricultural products the used insecticides/ pesticides has become investable. It is needless to say that the luxurically grown crop attracts the number of insect-pests and no economic return from such fields is possible without offering adequate pesticide coverage. The pesticide applied on crops against pests create health hazards and pollution to environment and also induce resistance in insect-pests that become the cause of toxicity hazards, biological magnification, resurgence of insectpests and secondary pest problems etc.

Abstract


All the compounds of environment including water, air and soil etc, are today in the graim grip of pollution that invites a big damage to civilization. Among various pollutants, sulphur dioxide, cloroflorocarbons-11 and 12, methane etc., are most prominent. These noxious elements move to environment by fossil fuel burning, automobile exhaust, seepage material and the applied pesticides which are utilized presently at mass level to protect crops, human and animal health. The indiscriminate use of pesticide has been giving serious blows to the environment and the worst days are unavoidable, if adequate measures are not done in this matter. In the present agriculture scenario of crop production and productivity of agricultural products the used insecticides/ pesticides has become investable. It is needless to say that the luxurically grown crop attracts the number of insect-pests and no economic return from such fields is possible without offering adequate pesticide coverage. The pesticide applied on crops against pests create health hazards and pollution to environment and also induce resistance in insect-pests that become the cause of toxicity hazards, biological magnification, resurgence of insectpests and secondary pest problems etc.
