“…This happens because most pesticides do not specifically kill the target animal but can kill other organisms that are useful for the survival of the ecosystem (8). In addition, pesticides can contaminate the environment so that they can reduce soil health, water quality, and air quality (9)(10)(11). This statement is supported by the results of a review, where pesticide residues in water can pose an acute risk to aquatic ecosystems, terrestrial soil ecosystems, bees, and non-target terrestrial arthropods (12).…”

“…Farmers feel uncomfortable and do not need to use several types of PPE in handling pesticides (14). In line with research from Kuwait, farmers are reluctant to use PPE because they are uncomfortable with the hot and humid environment; besides, PPE is considered as something that can slow down the work of farmers (11).…”

Introduction: The use of pesticides not only has benefits for product growth but also causes problems with the entry of pesticide residues in the food chain to pollution to the environment. This study aims to formulate ways to reduce pesticide contamination in the environment and agricultural products. Discussion: This literature review was conducted using the PRISMA method using 35 articles 14 of which were published in the ScienceDirect database, 12 in the Proquest database, and 9 in the Pubmed database. Environmental pollution due to pesticides is caused by the behavior of spraying pesticides and disposing of used pesticides by farmers. Ways to reduce it are by measuring how much pesticide is needed, training to increase knowledge about agricultural practices in preparing the required dose, and regularly monitoring environmental quality. Pesticide residues can increase due to the application of pesticides at harvest, and they can be reduced by washing, peeling, and cooking processes. In addition, another proven effective way to reduce pesticide residues is using an electrolyzed water treatment, sonolytic ozonation, and ozonated water. Conclusion: The use of unsafe pesticides will harm the environment and endanger health through the food chain. Training for farmers to use pesticides properly is considered effective in reducing pesticide pollution in the environment. In addition, the reduction of pesticides in agricultural products can be done by washing, peeling, cooking (boil, boil and fry), electrolyzed water treatment, sonolytic ozonation, and ozonated water.

“…Concerns about sustainability, human health, environmental protection, and social issues have led to a shift in focus away from chemical control measures that damage cultivated plant virus epidemics. Pesticides, which are contaminants in soil, air, and water, are widely believed to be a major contributor to the observed declines in terrestrial biodiversity (Jones, 2006;Assey et al, 2021). Due to the fact that they are readily accessible, inexpensive, biodegradable, have a variety of mechanisms of action, and are low in toxicity to organisms that are not the intended targets, plant-based extracts and natural substances have been characterized as promising instruments for the management of various crop pests and weeds (Lengai et al, 2020;Souto et al, 2021).…”

In 2021, a study was conducted in the Denizli region of Türkiye to investigate the phylogenetic relationship and presence of alfalfa mosaic alfamovirus (AMV) infecting pepper plants exhibiting viral disease symptoms. A total of 57 samples were collected, of which twenty-four tested positive for AMV with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Samples from pepper plants displaying virus symptoms gave positive bands on the agarose gel, while healthy plants yielded negative results. One of the positive samples was randomly selected, cloned and sequenced. This sequence of the Denizli AMV isolate (753 bp) was recorded in the GenBank database with accession number OQ845956. The nucleotide sequence showed a high nucleotide consensus of 97%-99% compared with the nucleotide sequences of the same variants from different origins in GenBank. According to the phylogenetic tree generated through the Neighbour Joining (NJ) method, this AMV isolate belongs to the same group as Iranian isolates from various of hosts. Furthermore, in silico docking analysis of the coat protein (CP) of the AMV isolate and promising 12 essential oil compounds was performed to enable potential antiviral drug development. Docking study showed that eucalyptol, eugenol and carvacrol can make important contributions to the advancement of drug-based strategies for the managing of plant viruses by interacting with the virus coat protein of high binding energies, -5.3, -5.2 and -5.0 kcal mol-1, respectively. Although the presence of AMV in Denizli province has been reported previously, this study reports the phylogenetic relationships and docking analysis of the new AMV isolate in pepper crops.

“…For more than three decades, organophosphate pesticides (OPs) have been the most widely used pesticides in India. The use of pesticides in agriculture today allows us to signi cantly increase crop yields (Assey, Mgohamwende, & Malasi, 2021;Sharma et al, 2019). Pesticide emissions into the environment have had negative and undesirable consequences for the ecosystem and human health(Zare, Dehghani, Fakhraei Fard, & assessment, 2020).…”

Pesticide residues are one of the most dangerous things that can affect the safety and quality of agro-food. We assessed study participants' long-term dietary exposure to 17 OPs and looked at how conventional food consumption and OP urinary metabolites in young children's and adolescents' urine samples impacted this exposure. We investigate the OP pesticide and metabolite concentrations in the study participants' diet and urine for the extraction and quantitative analyses of pesticides by using the QuEChERS method & followed by the LC-MS/MS. We gathered the food intake data of around 6–15-year-old (N = 905) child volunteers based on parent interviews and food questionnaires from the study proforma and also collected their urine samples. The health risk assessments through EDI, ADI, and chronic or long-term health (HQ) were estimated. Our results suggest that 17 OP pesticides were found in food samples. Among 905 study participants based on diet, there was a significant (p < 0.000) difference in the consumption of fruits & vegetables between the males and females, sex-wise, and the adolescents and child, age-wise. We investigated the DAP levels in urine samples, and there was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in the concentration of DAPs levels between the child female, & HIG groups, which showed more DAP levels than the child male, LIG, & MIG groups. The analysis of EDI and health quotient (HQ) values of pesticides on study participants showed that pesticides such as dichlorvos, monocrotophos, dimethoate, quinalphos, triazophos, and ethion were significantly associated with the health risks of children through their diets. The findings indicate that there is more risk associated with fruits, fruit juices, and vegetables compared to plain foods, but future total exposure to these toxins from a variety of foods warrants extra vigilance.
