Beschreibung
Pesticide is a poison, not a medicine. The haphazard use of pesticide in developing countries is on the rise. Farmers do not tend to expand their knowledge and skills on the right use of pesticide. This lack of knowledge has led to various irreparable damage on human health and environment. This book deals with the adverse effects of pesticides on human health and environment. It is designed to create an impact among the general population as well as the farmer groups about pesticides. It also contains information about residue of pesticides in vegetables which we consume on a day to day basis trying to bring awareness about the healthy consumption. It can also help to formulate further policies and plans for the proper management, distribution and use of the pesticides.
