A Natural pesticide is a substance that disrupts or kills organisms that we consider to be pests such
as weeds, damaging insects, or microbes that cause disease. Pesticides that are made by other
organisms, usually for their own defense or that comes from a natural source like a mineral or a
plant are called natural pesticides. Although this is generally true, not all natural pesticides are
always safer or better for the environment than man-made pesticides. Nicotine, for instance, is the
highly addictive component of cigarette smoke and a natural pesticide found in tobacco leaves, but
it is actually much more toxic than the majority of modern synthetic pesticides. Although some
natural pesticides are extremely harmful, the majority are actually safer and better for the
environment than conventional pesticides. Natural pesticides should be your first choice for most
home and garden pest control needs because they are also very effective. A pesticide is a
substance that is used to keep unwanted plants, animals, and other organisms from growing and
causing harm to people, plants, and animals.
Introduction

2.
• Herbicides: The primary purpose of these is to stop weeds
from growing in the crop field. It helps to disturb the
favorable conditions necessary for plant growth.
• Fungicides: Fungi can be controlled or eradicated with the
assistance of these pesticides.

3.
Rodenticides: Chemicals that are used to kill rats, mice, and other rodents
make up this. Under the regulations, rodenticides can also be used to
control fish, birds, and mammals.
Insecticides: It aids in the control of insects, flies, mosquitoes, and other
pests. Pesticides rapidly control insect growth by degrading their nervous
systems.

4.
It helps to protect the storage: Protecting the crop from
rodents and other pests can sometimes be challenging after
harvest. Pesticides aid in pest prevention, and they are easy
to store and last longer.
Pesticides help in preventing insects, rodents, and viruses
at home, offices, etc: Pesticides aid in the elimination or
control of a large number of insects, rodents, and viruses
that can infect humans and spread a variety of diseases.

Advantages of Pesticides
•Pesticides help in an abundant harvest: Utilizing pesticides
ensures that crops are pest-free and fit for harvest. Crops are
protected from damage and infection by pesticides.

6.
● Pesticides help to prevent insects and waterborne
transmission diseases: Malaria, Lyme, and other diseases
can be avoided with the help of pesticides. It aided in the
prevention of numerous diseases and improved human
health.
● Pesticides help farmers to grow more crops in the same
or less land: When there are fewer pests in crop fields,
there are more chances that crops will be produced on the
same land. Farmers stand to benefit more from a rise in
productivity of between 40% and 50%.

7.
•Pesticides helped in making it easy to remove weeds or
prevent pests without hardship: It took a long time to pick
weeds by hand, which hurt productivity, and pesticides now
make it easy to get rid of some pests that were bad for plants'
growth.

8.
Disadvantages of Pesticides
•Impact on human health: Consuming toxic food on a regular basis has a direct and significant
impact on human health. Pesticides, which are present in a variety of forms all around us, are the
cause of so many diseases like asthma, allergies, and cancer.
•Negative effect on other life species: The chemical kills a variety of pests that harm crops, as well
as some species that can be beneficial to crops. When pesticides are used in the area, butterflies,
bees, and other soil organisms die.

9.
•Environmental pollution: Pesticides that are used excessively by some farmers pollute not
only the soil but also the underground water.
•Genetic defects: Pesticide use over and over again has a negative long-term effect on soil
fertility.
•Affect in pollination: Pesticides affect how bees and butterflies naturally pollinate crops,
which lowers yields.
