        abstract = {The meaning of Pest is described in Oxford Dictionary that a troublesome or destructive organism and the suffix ‘cide’ mean “slaughter of”. From this we can define the Pesticide is a substance or mixture of substances intended for killing of a pest. By destroying the pests the Pesticide  prevents some species of plants and animals that causes harm or interferes in the growth of plants/ crops. The pesticide may be biological agents or chemical substances. The chemical pesticides are very much toxic on environment after their uses in the agricultural field. However it is estimated on a global report that the worlds crops yield is reduced by 10-15% due to presence of weeds. So it is very necessary to use of pesticides for better crop yield. Using of pesticide the target species as well as non-target species including human also effected. The indiscriminate use of pesticides in agricultural fields polluted the environment including soil, water and air through pesticide residues. Through bio-accumulation or biomagnification pesticides (e.g., chlorinated) enter into the food chain and multiplying its toxicity and hampered the life cycle of too many non-target organisms. Now it should be very essential to take some steps to use over the pesticide, otherwise the living organisms will be fall in danger by this poison.},
