Abstract

The use of fertilizers and pesticides indiscriminately is necessary for the accelerated agricultural crop production needed to cultivate high yield types. By protecting the crop from pests, these inputs enhance both the amount and quality of crops produced. Pesticide effusion in to the atmosphere through diffusion and drift, which can contaminant the aquatic environment. These pathways present significant health concerns to both humans and the aquatic ecosystem. All tiers of biological organization, including as primary producers, microbes, invertebrates, and fish, may be directly impacted by this exposure. In order to regulate the runoff events in the spraying process, monitoring techniques such as suspended matter samplers for particle-associated pesticides which can be utilized to reduce the amount of hazardous compounds in water bodies should be implemented.

Keywords: aquatic ecosystem, pesticide, biological organization.
