Pesticides are extensively used in modern agriculture and are an effective and economical way to enhance the yield quality and quantity, thus ensuring food security for the ever-growing population around the globe. Approximately, 2 million tonnes of pesticides are utilized annually worldwide, where China is the major contributing country, followed by the USA and Argentina, which is increasing rapidly. However, by the year 2020, the global pesticide usage has been estimated to increase up to 3.5 million tonnes. Although pesticides are beneficial for crop production point of view, extensive use of pesticides can possess serious consequences because of their bio-magnification and persistent nature. Diverse pesticides directly or indirectly polluted air, water, soil and overall ecosystem which cause serious health hazard for living being. In the present manuscript, an attempt has been made to critically review the global usage of different pesticides and their major adverse impacts on ecosystem, which will provide guidance for a wide range of researchers in this area.

“…Praktik tersebut dilakukan secara intensif dan tanpa mengikuti kaidah yang benar. Akibatnya, kandungan residu pestisida pada buah mentimun adalah yang tertinggi dibandingkan dengan tomat, paprika, kentang, bawang bombay, wortel dan kubis (Kostik et al, 2014). Data hasil survei di Kazakhstan menunjukkan bahwa 59% sampel buah mentimun mengandung 29 jenis pestisida dan 10 jenis di antaranya tidak terdaftar di negara tersebut.…”

Spraying technique of pesticides that are commonly carried out by cucumber farmers in Indonesia is very diverse, so it is needed to be evaluated to find out the right way to spray. This experiment aimed to determine the effect of nozzle swing on the level of coverage and distribution of droplets. In addition, it is also to find out the effectiveness of pesticides used in pests and diseases control in cucumber cultivation. The experiment was carried out at Margahayu Experimental Garden (± 1 250 m asl.), Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute in Lembang, West Java, from July to October 2015. The experiment was arranged using paired comparisons and each treatment was repeated four times. The treatment tested is how to swing the nozzle with the position: (A) above the plant canopy facing down and moving forward and (B) below and swinging towards the plant at an angle of 45 o. Results showed that the second nozzle swinging method (B) gave a higher level of coverage and distribution of droplets than that produced by the first nozzle swinging method, so the pesticide efficacy in treatment B was also higher.

“…However, the more important is the chronic toxicity effects that arise as cancers, genetic disorders, hormonal disorders, infertility, decrease of IQ and creating allergies. For example, Alzheimer's risk associated with exposure to be in highest rate organophosphorus and paraquates are in the next order [3][4][5][6].…”
