<Pros . Pesticides . Cons >
Protect plants
Herbicides
Destroy weeds
Sunlight isn't blocked by the foliage of weeds
Space and oxygen/water isn't taken up by the roots of weeds
Crops are able to properly use photosynthesis in order to grow properly
More available crops for the economy
Cheaper crops
More people fed
Fungicides
Destroy fungi
We don't face the risk of the crops obtaining diseases from the fungi
We humans don't face the risk of obtaining diseases from the consumption of yield
Insecticides
Kill insects
We have more yield, due to the fact that they aren't consumed by insects
More crops = cheaper crops
More people fed
Rodenticides
Kill rodents
We have more yield, due to the fact that they aren't consumed by rodents.
More crops = cheaper crops
More people fed
Bactericides
Prevent bacteria/diseases from forming on plants
We humans don't face the risk of obtaining diseases from the consumption of yield
Hospital bills supplied by the economy decrease due to less sickness
Individuals who consume pesticide treated crops tend to have health issues
Deformities, damage of reproductive systems, cancer, etc
Must be treated; lots of money used
Economic loss
.
Honey bees are dying out due to the use of pesticides
Honey bees are VERY important for pollination of plants/crops
The extinction of honey bees leads to less pollination
Less crops grow
Less crops for sale/more expensive crops
Huge economic loss/ less people fed
Weeds developing resistance against pesticides
Farmers have to use more/more frequent pesticides
Very expensive > economic loss
