Abstract
As agriculture has developed, new methods of dealing with pests, weeds and even crop plants themselves have been discovered and widely put in use. Many substances which are used to achieve these chemical controls are poisonous to a less or greater extent to flora and fauna, and they may concern even human health. Farmers might be unintentionally contributing to environmental pollution.Keywords
