Abstract: The long half-life of pesticides and their possible environmental hazard have led to a rise in soil and water contamination from their breakdown products. Consumers’ awareness of the possible health impacts of artificial chemicals in food has grown in recent years. The primary goal of the introduction of pesticides was to prevent and manage diseases and insect pests in field crops. Naturally, at first, the use of pesticides decreased pest activity and cleared the path for an anticipated increase in crop output. Concurrently, the augmented use of chemical pesticides has led to environmental pollution, with multifaceted long-term consequences for civilization. The purpose of this research is to explore the potential benefits of utilizing pesticides as well as their drawbacks. The research comes to the conclusion that, in order to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, it is imperative to support organic farming methods and look for biological pesticides or bio-pesticides that may effectively manage agricultural pests.
