Abstract

Pesticides are chemicals that are used to kill or harm pests and insects that attack crops. For millennia, a variety of insecticides have been employed to preserve crops. Pesticides are beneficial to crops, but they are also harmful to the environment. Pesticides used in excess can have a negative impact on biodiversity. Pesticides pose a serious threat to the survival of many birds, aquatic animals, and other animals.
