Effects of Pest Control and Pesticides

Dr. Varsha Pratibha

Abstract

Pests have tormented humanity from the dawn of time, according to ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Hebrew literature. For example, in Exodus 10:14-15, there is a graphic portrayal of a major insect invasion:  and the locusts spread across Egypt and settled on the whole nation. They darkened the face of the whole area by covering it with their bodies, and they ate in all plants and trees fruit. In Egypt, not a single green item remained, neither tree nor field plant. Pest-borne diseases such as plague and malaria have altered the trajectory of human history
