This research paper has found that relationship between use of chemical fertilizer, pesticide and productivity of agriculture. This paper has analysed the use of chemical fertilizer between region wise and year wise in Maharashtra and evaluation impact on agriculture sustainability. After the analysis of statistical data, this research paper finds out that farmers are increasing more chemical fertilizers year by year. They use more chemical when falling rainfall and less use a chemical when increase rainfall. But the trend of using chemical fertiliser and pesticide are continuously increasing. So conclude that problem created for agriculture sustainable development From 2010 to 2016, the trend of using pesticide is increasing for farming. In 2012, 8.31 Lakh MT consumption of pesticide was increased 12.2 Lakh MT in 2016-17. But oilseed production decreased from 2010-11 to 2016-17. Therefore create problems of sustainable agriculture development due to increase harmful pesticides for agriculture farming. The use of toxic pesticides in India has lately been in news in connection with death of farmers and agriculture workers Yavatmal region of Maharashtra. The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a non-profit based in New Delhi, has been campaigning for stricter regulation of pesticides and ban on the most toxic pesticides classified as ‘Class I’ (based on acute toxicity of the active ingredient) by the World Health Organisation. This order bans seven of the 18 Class I pesticides allowed in India, many of which are heavily used.
