Agro-based pesticides are insecticides used by farmers to prevent pests from reducing the growth and production of agricultural crops. Farmers must be protected against pests, disease, and weeds, as well as enhanced production per hectare, in order to raise more food on less area. This paper discusses pesticides, including their advantages and disadvantages. Insecticides, fungicides, fumigants, and rodenticides are the most widely used pesticide groups. Pesticides are a type of pesticide that acts as a modifier. Some insecticides are organism-specific and kill pests in a specific way. As a result, pesticides serve a critical role in reducing illness and increasing agricultural yields across the world. As a result, it is important to discuss the agricultural development process, historical perspectives, pesticide kinds and particular uses, as well as their behavior, contamination, and negative environmental consequences. Excessive pesticide usage has the potential to destroy biodiversity. As a result, toxic chemicals put the lives of many birds, sea creatures, and other species in jeopardy. This study provides an overview of pesticides and its various aspects. It will be helpful in the future because farmers will be able to improve their output as well as their revenue by utilizing these pesticides, and they will be able to grow more food in less space.
