Abstract

Pest Resistance in Plants: The Impact of Excessive Pesticide Use

Peter Daniel

The overuse of pesticides in agriculture has both negative effects as well as positive effects.. While pesticides have served a key role in managing crop pests and improving yields, their excessive application has unintentionally induced the evolution of resistant pests. This article explores the mechanisms through which overuse of pesticides contributes to the development of pest resistance and examines the broader implications for agricultural sustainability and pest management.
