PESTICIDES ARE THE SAVIOR OF CROPS

WHAT ARE PESTICIDES?

We all know what pesticides are and how they provide benefits to the crops. The farmers use them to protect the crops from pests and from their damages to the crops. The use of pesticides in farming is not a new concept as it has been going since decades. But what are pesticides exactly? Do we really know them? How pesticides are made and what kind of protection is provided to the crops? Let us understand it in brief so that we can use more of them.

Pesticides are chemicals used to kill pests, but people are still afraid of using them. They are viruses, bacteria, and antibodies used to kill and prevent pests. Pesticides are very much important and beneficial to our crops. Pests are the insects that attack the crops, food, and any more essential things of life and to protect these items we need to kill the pests which destroy them.

Pesticides were invented and used to kill such pests and protect our plants and food from them, but excessive use of pesticides can harm plants. Pests not only attack food when it is stored or placed on a shelf but also when it grows and forms on the ground. Therefore, taking care of them is very important. These pests infest the cultivated land where plants grow and hinder plant growth.

They suck up all the water, minerals, and nutrition from the plant/crops so that the plant dies or is left unnourished.

HOW DO WE MAKE PESTICIDES ?

There are not many raw materials needed to make pesticides here. They are mainly made of 2 ingredients, but they are still very beneficial to our plants. The active ingredient is combined with the inert ingredient to form a substance that can kill pests without harming plants. The active ingredients are used to kill insects, and the inert ingredients are used to cover and spray target plants.

There are three steps to making pesticides. They are:

1. The active ingredients are synthesized in the firm of chemicals
2. Then send to formulator who converts it into liquid or dry pesticide. 
3. Lastly, it is send to certified applicators who dilutes it.

THEIR MAUFACTURING PURPOSES ARE?

Insecticides are only used to protect plants from pests and have multiple benefits for farmers. Pesticides kill pests that try to destroy crops or crops. They are sprayed into the soil before harvest, during cultivation, or even during storage. The pesticides should always be presented there in the cycle of farming as a single pest can lead to n number of pests and they can destroy a large number and quantity of crops

WHAT ARE THE ELMENTS IN PESTICIDES?

Pesticides include of 2 elements only they are

1. Active ingredients
2. Inert ingredients

HOW MUCH IMPORTANCE DOES THEY HOLD IN FARMING?

Pesticides are most useful in crop protection. They occupy an important position in the agricultural process. There are many steps and procedures involved in producing high-quality crops and growing crops. Insecticides can not only protect plants from insects but also prevent plants from causing further damage to plants.

Pesticides are as important as herbicides and other essential things like water, agro machinery areas they are the only source through which we can protect our crops from pests.

BENEFITS OF PESTICIDES
