    Pesticides are chemicals used to kill pests that damage crops, but they can have harmful health effects. While pesticides help increase crop yields by 37% in the US, they are poisonous if consumed and have been linked to diseases like cancer. One study found endosulfan levels in mothers' milk to be 860% higher than WHO recommendations. An incident in India exposed over 5,000 people to endosulfan spraying, resulting in increased cases of cancer, miscarriages, and birth defects. Pesticides also harm the environment as 99% of the chemicals do not kill pests but pollute soil, water and crops. Non-pesticide management methods provide safer alternatives like introducing natural

    TO BE COVERED

     Advantages
     Harmful Effects
     Substitution of Pesticides
    Uses and its Advantages

     Pesticides are chemicals which kills or manages the population of Pests.

     Its is estimated that 37% of all crop produced in USA each year is destroyed
    by Pests which causes loss of nearly $122 Billions dollars.

     So Pesticides are used to conserve the crops that are meant for Humans
    consumption.
    Disadvantages

     So pesticides are poison which if consumed by humans will have many


    harmful effects.

     Some of the scientifically proven diseases caused by pesticides are Cancer


    ,Asthma, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and many more.
    Disadvantages

     Endosulfine In Mother’s Milk:


    A research done by IIT
    Kanpur states that
    Endosulfine in mother’s milk
    is 860% more than normal
    intake recommended by
    WHO.
    Kasaragod Rain of Endosulfine: From 1976-
    2000 Endosulfine spray was being done
    by government body on Kaju crops which
    affected more than 5000 people.

    Disadvantages

    Diseases like Cancer, Miscarriages,


    Abnormal Newborns types of chronic
    diseases recorded major growth within
    short span of time.
    Kasaragod Rain of
    Endosulfine

     Some pics of newborn.

     Even after people protests


    Government was not taking
    actions.

     Endosulfine got banned


    later after Court’s Order
    SOME OTHER EXAMPLES

     Some pesticides are anti folic acid, and folic acid is necessary vitamin for
    brain development which if not in proper amount leads to undeveloped
    brain in newborns.
     India has highest number of such cases.

     Punjab has 1.4% of total area of India, but its pesticide use is 18% of all
    pesticide use.
     Which is why diseases like cancer, infertility and more have increased at
    large level.
     A train from Bhatinda to Bikaner goes which is known as Cancer Train
    EFFICENCY

     Pesticides are not efficient as only 1% of


    total sprayed is used for killing the pest.

     Rest 99% gets into soil, water, crops which


    pollutes environment with toxic
    chemicals.

     It increases the cost of production also.


     People claims that if green revolution had not been
    there then we would not able to feed our country.
     Its is a myth as we are able to rise the production of
    Green wheat, rice etc. type major crops but the pulses and
    oil farming is badly affected by this.
    Revolution  This is because pesticides promotes monofarming.
     As a result of this India has become, more depended
    on imports of pulses and oil raw materials and
    products.
    Pesticides and Birds
     Introduction to natural predators.
    Non-Pesticides  Nutrient managements.

    Management  Field Sanitation.

    Methods  Soil Solarization.


     Uses of NPM products.
    Soil Solarization

     Soil solarization is a non-


    chemical environmentally friendly method
    for controlling pests using solar power to
    increase the soil temperature to levels at
    which many soil-borne plant
    pathogens will be killed or greatly
    weakened.
    NPM Products
    Which has better Yield?

    IN 2011, 2 WORLD RECORDS OF HIGHEST INDIA IS LARGEST ORGANIC COTTON PRODUCER


    PRODUCTION OF POTATO AND RICE WAS IN THE WORLD.
    RECORDED BOTH FROM BIHAR, WHICH WERE
    GROWN UP BY ORGANIC MEANS.
