Various Methods Involved in Studying Persistence and Residues of Pesticides in Soil

Abstract

Pesticides protect plants or plant products from crop pests, plagues, and weed competition, improving yields and protecting the assembly's availability, quality, dependability, and economic competitiveness for the benefit of farmers and consumers. The introduction of cutting-edge technologies, from breeding to harvesting, has contributed to an increase in agricultural yields. These activities are aided by the use of agrochemicals, which in general endanger the environment's sustainability by polluting soils, water, and air. Pesticides' harmful effects pose a threat not only to nearby natural habitats, but also to cropland itself.
