Present Status of Insecticide Impacts and Eco-Friendly Approaches for Insect and Pest Management

Author(s) Dr Nanda Ram
Country India
Abstract The overuse of chemical insecticides in India has led to significant ecological and health concerns, prompting the need for sustainable pest management strategies. This review paper explores the current status of insecticide impacts on Indian agriculture and evaluates eco-friendly alternatives for insect and pest control. It reviews the existing literature, highlighting the detrimental effects of synthetic pesticides on biodiversity, soil health and human health, while examining eco-friendly approaches such as biopesticides, botanical insecticides, biological control agents and cultural methods. The review also identifies the challenges and limitations in adopting these alternatives, including farmers' lack of awareness, limited infrastructure and insufficient policy support. Numerical data from various studies indicate that the adoption of eco-friendly methods, such as the use of neem-based products and biopesticides, has resulted in substantial reductions in pesticide use and pest populations, with improvements in crop yield and sustainability. Furthermore, the paper discusses key recommendations for enhancing the adoption of sustainable pest management practices, such as increasing farmer education, strengthening research and development and implementing supportive government policies. The future directions of eco-friendly pest management focus on expanding Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices and improving the accessibility of biopesticide products. This paper highlights the critical need for a balanced, integrated approach to pest management that prioritizes environmental sustainability and long-term agricultural health.
