Pesticides help farmers to produce more with less land.
With the introduction of pesticides, farmers have been able to produce bigger crops on less land, Increasing crop productivity by between 20 and 50 percent. In addition, pesticides allow farmers to maximize the benefits of other valuable agricultural tools, such as high quality seeds, fertilizers and water resources. Pesticides are therefore an indispensable tool for the sustainable production of high quality food and fibers.
Pesticides ensure bountiful harvests.
Numerous scientific studies show that eating fruit and vegetables regularly reduces the risk of many cancers, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other chronic diseases.
Pesticides help keep food affordable.
Farmers grow more food on the same land with the help of pesticides. Studies have shown that growers of organic vegetables spend significantly more on hand weeding compared to growers who use herbicides. This explains why organic food is more expensive than conventionally grown food.
Pesticides help reduce waterborne and insect transmitted diseases.
Such as malaria, Lyme disease and West Nile virus. Pesticides contribute to enhanced human health by preventing disease outbreaks through the control of rodent and insect populations.
Pesticides help conserve the environment.
They enable farmers to produce more crops per unit area with less tillage, thus reducing deforestation, conserving natural resources and curbing soil erosion. Pesticides are also critical for the control of invasive species and noxious weeds.
Herbicides have removed the hardship of hand weeding.
This means farming families across the world have the choice to pursue education and opportunities away from farming, thus improving quality of life and living standards.
Pesticides have transformed developing countries into food producers.
Crop protection products have helped farmers in the developing world grow two or three crops a year, so much that these countries can become ‘breadbaskets’ for the rest of the world. The food exports benefit people in temperate countries with shorter growing seasons.
Securing what’s in storage.
Even after the crop is in, it can be subject to attack by pests. Bugs, moulds, and rodents can harm precious grains. Pesticides used in stored products can prolong the viable life of the produce, prevent huge post-harvest losses from pests and diseases and protect the grain so it is safe to eat.
pesticide has reduces the cost of agriculture farmers spend less.this is awesome

pls, I need reference on this work.
There really are a ton of ideas that you can get by reading this very informative blog. I’ve learned a lot about pest control tips and how to get rid of it. Keep sharing!
Pesticides will kill off the pests, but what about the plants with flowers? It’ll kill off the pollinators, and then the crops will die, and what then?
That’s the problem with pesticides. It can kill of helpful species along with the pests. This is when farmers have the option of using biological control which is introducing other species which essentially kill only the species of pets you want gone.
can i please get this information for a school work Publication Day, Publication Month,Publication Year, Publisher/Sponsor?
me too
Well I wrote this song for the Christian youth
I wanna teach kids the Christian truth
If you wanna reach those kids on the street
Then you gotta do a rap to a hip-hop beat
So I gave my sermon an urban kick
My rhymes are fly, my beats are sick
My crew is big and it keeps getting bigger
That’s ’cause Jesus Christ is my nigga
Woo!
[Verse 2: Jim Colerick]
He’s a life-changer, miracle arranger
Born to the virgin mom in a manger
Water to wine, he’s a drink exchanger
And he died for your sins
I preach the word, that’s my gig
And I rhyme better than Notorious B.I.G
All the other MCs, I wish them well
But if you live in sin, you burn in hell
Now I’ma pass the mic to my lovely wife
She’s a fly MC and the light of my life
So to bust a rhyme without further ado
Take it away, Mary Sue!
[Verse 3: Mary Sue]
Jesus Christ is my nigga
He’s the son of the original G
And he was sent to Earth to elucidate the way that we should be
(What?) Like if another MC says, “You’re a freak!
You’re a lame-butt rapper and your rhymes are weak!”
I don’t get mad and I don’t critique
I forgive him, and turn the other cheek
I don’t blaspheme and I don’t brag
I don’t cuss, and my pants don’t sag
I do exude a little Christian swag
And I’m proud to be an American!
[Hook: Both]
Jesus Christ is our nigga
Let his light shine through ya!
Let his love pop a cap in your butt and say hallelujah
[Verse 4: Both]
Jesus Christ is our nigga
He’s a homie MC, JC, you see
He’s an honest, caring, peace-loving nigga like me
If you do drugs and you think you’re cool
You need to come to Sunday school!
Put those drugs in a garbage can
Stand up tall, you’re a Christian man!
Eight benefits of pesticides does seem like a tricky thing to do. I like that you explained that the cost of farm health & safety in by a few different things. I didn’t realize that the city and types of equipment used could affect the price a lot.
i had a bad scene with bed bugs at home and I took the help of ISS Hicare Pest Control Langley and Pest Control Abbotsford (Pest Control Surrey) services in Bangalore… it worked well….I got the reference of this place from my land lord who had availed their services about 3 years back and he feels their work is still effective (so time tested they are)… also its a subsidiary of godrej industries…customer care and follow up in my case has been good… I would suggest them to you.
