    Integrated Pest Management for Sustainable Agriculture
    (Book Rivers, 2026) Kalpana Bisht, Sunil Kumar Yadav
    Pest management strategies have shifted from the widespread use of pesticides to a holistic approach of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Integrated pest management (IPM) is an important strategy for sustainable agriculture that provides a complete and environmentally conscious approach to pest control. Population- based pest management was first proposed by Geyer and Clark in 1961, who advocated a contemporary approach to integrated pest management that attempts to judiciously combine all available techniques and methods of pest control and minimize pesticide use and ecosystem disturbance. IPM practices involve multiple approaches to pest management, including cultural, mechanical, physical, biological, host plant resistance, and chemical approaches. Under an IPM program, cost savings and long-term sustainability are commensurate with environmental benefits, particularly the reduced use of pesticides and preservation of beneficial ecosystems.

    Pesticide Contamination in Soil and Water: Type of Pesticide, Route of Expose, and Its Toxic Impacts
    (Scrivener Publishing LLC, 2026) Priyanka Yadav, Diksha Singh, Shivani Mishra, Kusum Yadav, Ravi Yadav, Alok Das, Gyanendra Tripathi, Ashish, Alvina Farooqui
    One important concept in the sphere of agricultural development is pesticides. Consequently, the use of pesticides results in both acute and chronic toxicities in humans, and their detrimental impacts on the environment along with human health continue to be major concerns in the modern world. Therefore, there needs to be discussion about the methods for applying pesticides, the routes via which they are exposed to them, and the health hazards connected to their use. The health dangers posed by pesticide applications and exposure in developing countries are among the primary concerns. In addition to being physically exposed to pesticides through their work in agriculture and the home, along with other industries, people were also exposed indirectly to them through environmental media, for example, food, trash, and soil. The pesticides were administered to humans orally, respiratorily, and topically. Humans who are indirectly or directly exposed to pesticides may contract the effects of acute toxicity as well as chronic diseases.
