Abstract

Pesticides is very important for the prevention, mitigation, destruction of pests and
diseases for the improvement of agricultural efficiency due to their contributions to
agricultural yields and improving the standard of living. Considering the dynamicity and
influence of weather in our everyday lives, it is obvious that the effects of pesticides might
also be a contributing factor and vice versa. Climate change could have an influence on both
pesticides’ usage, as well as the losses of pesticides to the environment. Presently, the issue
of climate change is one of the furthermost intellectual challenging issues facing the entire
human race. Therefore, we must continue to protect our environment from these unfavourable
effects of climate change by extremely dipping the emissions of greenhouse gases especially
via the use of chemical substances such as pesticides. In this review study we will briefly
attempt to give an insight and try to bridge the uncertainty surrounding the effects of the use
of pesticides and its relationship to climate change effects on the environment.
