Agrochemicals Application in Bangladesh

by Amit Hassan | 29-04-2021 20:07 recommendations 0

An agrochemical or agrichemical, a contraction of agricultural chemical, is a chemical product applied in agriculture. In most cases, agriculture refers to insecticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and nematicides. It may additionally include artificial fertilizers, hormones and one of a kind chemical boom retailers, and concentrated stores of raw animal manure. Many agrochemicals are toxic, and agriculture in the bulk garage may pose considerable environmental and health risks, especially in unintended spills. In many nations, using agrichemicals is highly regulated. Government-issued allows for the purchase, and use of accepted agrichemicals may be required. Significant results can result from misuse at the side of the fallacious garage resulting in spillage. On farms, proper storage centers and labeling, emergency clean-up devices and strategies, and safety mechanisms and systems for managing, application, and disposal are regularly concerned with obligatory requirements and rules. Usually, the standards are completed via the registration technique. They are the time-venerated name given to chemical compounds, including fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides. Agrochemicals, because the name suggests, are utilized in agriculture to facilitate plant growth and safety. These chemical materials had been used to improve crop production. However, its overuse has now affected the surroundings. In most instances, agrochemicals check with pesticides. Pesticides. Insecticides. Herbicides. Fungicides. Algaecides. Rodenticides. Molluscicides. Nematicides; Fertilisers; Soil conditioners; Liming and acidifying marketers; Plant increase regulators.
Increasing demand for food supply due to speedy increase within the human populace has triggered agricultural intensification all through a previous couple of a few years. For addressing the developing meals wishes, agrochemicals (fertilizers and various pesticides) are rigorously used in agriculture, which accomplishes the gap between meal manufacturing and consumption; however, concurrently, unbalanced use of agrochemicals also reasons environmental deterioration and poses intense worrying situations to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Since the sustainability of ecosystems, environment, and agriculture is the high consciousness of scientists and researchers, reduced throughputs of such chemical substances are crucially required to aid in eco-sustainable measures. To collect most agricultural output, there can be a pressing need for careful use of natural resources and minimum application of unsafe compounds in agriculture, which can be purported to provide functionality challenges to our natural agroecosystem. The software program of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture has several advantages: yield growth of vegetation and soil fertility to pest manipulation and crop protection. Cultivated crops are challenged with several biotic (weed, insect, and pest infestation) and abiotic stresses (decreased soil fertility), controlled by using extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides. The software of those agrochemicals has expanded soil fertility and computer virus/pest management with consequent yields of flowers over the past 40 years. Studies recommend that fertilizers and pesticide use in agriculture were considerably elevated in evolved and developing countries in modern-day years to undertake most plants' yields.
Nevertheless, there may be a growing state of affairs worldwide over artificial fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture due to their toxicity to humans, the surroundings, and ecosystems. Significant risks related to commonplace use of insecticides and fertilizers are soil and water pollution, the emergence of resistant strains of weeds and pests to insecticides, ecological instability, and toxicity to people and other organisms. Several opinions have mentioned that aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are at emergent dangers due to the precise application of fertilizers and pesticides, except their affiliation with some human fitness issues like rheumatoid arthritis and kidney diseases, particular cancers, and so forth. It is, therefore, crucial to remember risks and stressful conditions posed thru agrochemical software in agriculture for defensive human fitness, ecosystem, and surroundings.
Bangladesh is densely a populated and agricultural usa. Nearly 90 percentage of its lands are arable and fifty 5 percent of the humans are employed in agriculture. Agriculture performs a critical feature in Bangladesh financial system which debts for approximately 21 percentage contribution in country wide GDP. But agriculture is being completed currently in unplanned, unsystematic and non-sustainable tactics. Bangladesh lands are loosing their productiveness and soilwater environments are getting vulnerability as agrochemicals (insecticides and fertilizers) are carried out at immoderate and indiscriminately in all varieties of arable lands. Presently, agrochemicals' usage will grow approximately a hundred and fifty-3 hundred percentage compared to the times of 1950s that has been a fantastic risk to surroundings and human health. There are a very good amount of conventions and jail structures to prevent or reduce the poisonous and indiscriminate use of agrochemicals for you to maintain the environment (soil and water) and health. But it's far regretted that untrained and bad farmers observe toxic agrochemicals at huge amounts, which ruins soil and water quality.

    Dear Amit,

    This is your mentor Debbie. :)

    Agriculture may sound eco-friendly just because it is dealing with plants and what we consume directly, but as you said, if conducted with harmful fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals especially in an unplanned and unsustainable manner, it is so much harmful to our environment. Farmers or people in the agricultural industry would want to make profit but before that we must consider that there are environmental costs involved in using these chemicals as well.

    Thanks for sharing with us, Amit!

    Best,

    Debbie

    Hi Amit,

    This is your mentor Yuseon:D

    You have pointed out some harmful effects of agricultural chemical products used in crops.
    Actually, this has been a long time problem, but there hasn't been an appropriate solution to prevent both the harm of pesticides and insects.

    I hope there would be a perfect countermeasure to solve all of these problems. Natural products that could keep the harm of insects under control, without polluting nature.

    Keep us informed,
    Yuseon

    Hello Amit,
    Warm Greetings

    Thanks for your wonderful report on agrochemicals application in Bangladesh. Being an graduate, I believe that we must only use small amount of agrochemials in the field. Using them a lot is very toxic for the environment.

    Regards,
