A REVIEW ON COMPARATIVE ANALYTICAL APPROACH TOWARDS CHEMICAL PESTICIDES TO BIO PESTICIDES

Abstract

The inappropriate and excessive use of agricultural pesticides now a day creating a major impact on the environment including human health causing contamination of soils, agricultural crops and groundwater. Chemical insecticides such as organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, triazines are very important and effective in modern crop management but they pose serious threats to the human health, wildlife, natural environment and economic benefits. Therefore, the need to feed an ever-increasing global population combined with increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has geared a significant increase in demand for bio pesticides. Bio pesticides have various advantages over the chemical ones, most importantly they are found to be more cost effective make environment healthy. In this paper, the various chemical pesticides and bio pesticides are listed and application of bio pesticides as a safe pesticide used to control the pest in order to maintain the sustainability in the agricultural production was discussed. The paper has also described the transition of chemical pesticides to bio pesticides and their consumption demand in the Indian market across the states.
