Modern pesticides are claimed to be highly effective and harmless to both plants and humans.
At the same time, the wrong amount and use can potentially affect your garden, ADVICE.NEWS reports.
Let's find out how these substances can potentially save or harm your plants.
Pest control
Pesticides are designed to control or destroy pests that can cause damage to crop plants and reduce their yield.
When used correctly, pest-specific pesticides are certainly effective in controlling infestations and protecting plant health.
Environmental Impact
Some pesticides, especially those of chemical origin, can have negative impacts on the environment.
They can persist in soil, water or air and cause harm to beneficial organisms such as bees, butterflies, birds and others. In addition, damage can be caused to nearby water sources and ecosystems.
Human health issues
Exposure to some pesticides may pose a health risk to humans, especially if used improperly or without proper safety precautions.
Pesticide residues on plants or in the air can be ingested, which can lead to adverse health effects. That’s why you should always read the instructions carefully and protect yourself when using substances.
