Pesticides are substances that are used to control pests. In farming, pesticides are applied on fruits and vegetables to raise yield and upgrade the quality of the crop. Pesticides are toxic and can cause serious health problems. They pollute air, water and soil. Pesticides diminish biodiversity and reduce nitrogen fixation in the atmosphere. Pesticides may cause neurological and psychiatric complications. The exposure of pesticides is causing damage to the immune system. The main objective of this review paper is to determine the presence of pollutants indicated by showing positive results for nitrogen in various samples of fruits and vegetables during seasonal growth to increase the crop production. Investigation includes collection of various fruits and vegetables from local market and kitchen garden without using pesticides. The samples were prepared by a suitable method and pathway studies to determine the ratio of pollutants by estimating nitrogen qualitatively.
