Overusing Single Pesticide? Change Now or Face Severe Agricultural Consequences!

  • Continuous use of a single pesticide leads to pest resistance, making it ineffective over time.
  • Increased pesticide dosage and expensive chemicals raise production costs and reduce profits for farmers.
  • Excessive pesticide use harms beneficial insects, impacting pollination, yield, and crop quality.
  • Pesticide residues in soil and water destroy beneficial microorganisms, reducing soil fertility and risking barren land.
  • Experts recommend Integrated Pest Management (IPM), including alternating pesticides, biological controls, and proper agricultural practices for sustainable farming.

Why It Matters: Diversify pesticide use and adopt IPM to prevent pest resistance, protect ecosystems, and ensure sustainable agriculture.
