Agricultural production does not use pesticides, you think, do you want food and clothing or so-called safety?
In today's society, pesticides have become an indispensable part of agricultural production. However, with the increasing concern about food safety and environmental protection, more and more people are questioning the use of pesticides. So, can agricultural production be done without pesticides?
First, we need to understand the role of pesticides in agricultural production. Pesticides are mainly used to control pests and diseases, increase yields, and improve the quality of agricultural products. In agricultural production, pests and diseases can cause serious damage to crops and may even lead to reduced yields or no harvest. The use of pesticides can effectively control the occurrence of pests and diseases, so as to ensure the yield and quality of crops.
However, the use of pesticides also brings a series of problems. First, pesticide residues can pose a potential threat to human health. Long-term consumption of foods containing pesticide residues may increase the risk of cancer, neurological disorders, and immune system disorders. Secondly, the use of pesticides will also cause pollution to the environment and destroy the ecological balance. Some pesticides can contaminate water, soil and air, causing long-term damage to ecosystems.
Therefore, in order to solve these problems, some agricultural producers have started to experiment with production methods that do not use pesticides. Organic farming is a type of agricultural production that does not use chemically synthesized pesticides, fertilizers, and growth regulators. Organic agriculture uses natural organic matter as fertilizer, such as manure, plant residues, etc. In addition, organic agriculture also uses natural agricultural techniques such as crop rotation and biological control to maintain soil fertility and control the occurrence of pests and diseases.
However, there are also some problems with agricultural production methods that do not use pesticides. First of all, organic farming has relatively low yields because it is not possible to use highly effective chemical pesticides to control pests and diseases. Secondly, organic farming is more expensive to produce because more labor, time, and resources need to be invested to maintain the health of the farm and produce high-quality agricultural products. In addition, organic farming also needs to be certified by a certification body to ensure that the produce meets the standards and regulations of organic farming.
Pesticides can be used in agricultural production, but corresponding measures need to be taken to ensure the yield and quality of agricultural products. Organic farming is a viable option, but it requires more resources and labor. At the same time, consumers also need to pay a higher amount of ** to buy organic produce. Therefore, the decision to use pesticides should be made on a case-by-case basis. In some cases where pests and diseases are severe, the rational use of pesticides may be necessary. In some cases, natural agricultural techniques such as biological control and crop rotation can be used to control the occurrence of pests and diseases to reduce the harm to the environment and human body. In any case, consumers should be aware of their food** and how it is produced, and make informed choices.
And, the author is a practitioner in the pesticide industry, as long as the reasonable use of pesticides, really high residue, high toxicity, high residue pesticides have long been banned or restricted use, I personally think, compared to those "rat head duck neck", "gutter oil", "synthetic beef", etc., and even compared to those restaurants that do not open the disinfection cabinet every day, the harm of pesticides is not as good as them, at least pesticides are for disaster reduction, and it is controllable, and the others are not necessarily ......
