Abstract
Pesticides have pivotal importance in the present agricultural system of the world. To produce a high yield and meet the increasing food demands of the growing population of the world the application of pesticides has become mandatory. Nevertheless, the toxic residue of pesticides has severe repercussions on human health and the environment. The need is to prepare good quality biopesticides as the alternative to these poisonous pesticides that will not only prove helpful in high agricultural production but also have fewer health impacts and must be environmentally friendly. This is the review of literature from 1990 to 2022 on pesticide consumption and its health impacts.
