A Mini Review on Impact of pesticides use on Environment

Antonio Lonigro

The term fungicide covers a wide range of composites including germicides, pesticides, dressings, rodenticides,molluscicides, nematicides, factory growth controllers and others. Among these, organochlorine (OC) germicides, used successfully in controlling a number of conditions, similar as malaria and typhus, were banned or confined after the 1960s in utmost of the technologically advanced countries. The preface of other synthetic germicides – organophosphate (OP) germicides in the 1960s, carbamates in 1970s and pyrethroids in 1980s and the preface of dressings and pesticides in the 1970s – 1980s contributed greatly to pest control and agrarian affair. Immaculately a fungicide must be murderous to the targeted pests, but not to non-target species, including man. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, so the contestation of use and abuse of fungicides has surfaced. The rampant use of these chemicals, under the word, “if little is good, a lot further will be better” has played annihilation with mortal and other life forms.
