Pesticides are the chemical compounds that are used to kill pests including rodents, weeds, insects and fungi. They can be categorized into insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides and herbicides on the basis of type of pests they control. Fertilizers are natural or chemical substances that supply plant nutrients. Judicious and controlled use of pesticides and fertilizers benefit the crops. Overuse of pesticides threaten our ecosystem.They may destruct biodiversity and in turn disrupt global stability. This paper focusses on the harmful effects of pesticides on aquatic biodiversity, terrestrial biodiversity (plants, animals, and pollinators), beneficial microorganisms and humans. It briefly discusses the acute as well as chronic effects of pesticides on humans. Adverse effects of fertilizers on soil, water, environment, food chain and human health is also discussed in this research paper. It also highlights the methods to assess the environmental impact of pesticides.
