“…De et. al, [16] also reported similar findings where herbicide shared about 47.5% of global consumption, inseticide shared 29.5%, fungicide shared 17.5% and other types of pesticides shared about 5.5% of worldwide consumed pesticides. The linear trend line showed that growth in use of fungicides was 11,511 Kg active ingredient per annum while that of insecticide and herbicide was 7,219.7 and 6,497.6 Kg active ingredient per annum.…”

Insubstantial options for chemical pest management compelled farmers to use synthetic pesticides against crop insect pests that created vicious circle of increasing high-dose-pesticides applications in agriculture sector. The study was carried out to understand prevailing situation of pesticides uses and their state regulation status. Secondary data were obtained from Plant Protection Division, Plant Management and Registration Division, and FAOSTAT for drawing inferences and trend analysis. Chemical pest management commenced from using Paris green, Gamaxone, Nicotine sulphate and Chlorinated hydrocarbons in 1950s to 117 chemically defined pesticides including bio-pesticides and bio-rational compounds of 2186 formulations from 1960s to 2018 has made obvious changes in pest management scenario in the country. Per hectare pesticide consumption in Nepal is 396.0 gram (a.i.) while in commercial vegetable sector its consumption is as high as 1,600 gram a.i. per hectare. Option dearth but farmers' reliability only in chemical applications in pest management in crop fields has resulted in repercussion of vicious circle of compelled higher dose pesticide applications in crops. Obvious result is scores of multitudes of pesticides crowded in market in the country. Above all, problems of pesticide residues in food grains and green vegetables are emerging.

“…However, the use of chemical pesticides is still the best and most widely applied strategy to protect crops from pests and results in high yield production of crops. It has been reported that approximately two million tonnes of pesticides are consumed annually throughout the world (De et al, 2014). Global pesticide consumption includes 47.55% of herbicides, 29.5% of insecticides, 17.5% of fungicides and 5.5% of other pesticides.…”

Responses of Plants to Pesticide Toxicity: an Overview

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Pesticides are applied all over the world to protect plants from pests. However, their application also causes toxicity to plants, which negatively affects the growth and development of plants. Pesticide toxicity results in reduction of chlorophyll and protein contents, accompanied by decreased photosynthetic efficiency of plants. Pesticide stress also generates reactive oxygen species which causes oxidative stress to plants. To attenuate the negative effects of oxidative stress, the antioxidative defense system of plants gets activated, and it includes enzymatic antioxidants as well as non-enzymatic antioxidants. The present review gives an overview of various physiological responses of plants under pesticide toxicity in tabulated form.

“…Among different classes of pesticides ( Figure 1 and Figure 2) the insecticides dominate the other classes of pesticides and accounts for 60% of total market value and are used in major crops like rice and cotton, whereas herbicides and fungicides account for 16% and 18% respectively (FICCI 2015). Globally the consumption of herbicide is found to be highest followed by insecticides, fungicides and other pesticides (Arnab et al, 2014). Consumption of agrochemicals in India is one of the lowest in the world with per hectare consumption of just 0.6 kg/ha compared to US (4.5 kg/ha) and Japan (11 kg/ha) (FICCI, 2014).…”

Earthworms are important organisms in soil communities and are known for sustaining the life of the soil. They are used as a model organism in environmental risk assessment of chemicals and soil toxicology. Soil provides physical and nutritive support to agriculture system by regulating biogeochemical cycles, nutrient cycle, waste degradation, organic matter degradation etc. The biggest threat to soil health are pesticides and synthetic chemicals including fertilizers. Earthworms are most severely hit by these xenobiotic compounds leading to a sizeable reduction of their population and adversely affecting soil fertility. Earthworms are incredible soil organisms playing a crucial role in maintaining soil health. Pesticides used in crop management are known to be most over-purchased and irrationally used soil toxicants, simultaneously, used insecticides contribute to a quantum of damage to earthworms and other non-target organisms. LC50 and LD50 studies revealed that earthworms are highly susceptible to insecticides causing immobility, rigidity and also show a significant effect on biomass reduction, growth and reproduction by disrupting various physiological activities leading to loss of earthworm population and soil biodiversity.
