Exploring bio pesticide as an eco-friendly alternative to mitigate the risk posed by chemical pesticide

If we do not save the soil after year 2045, 50% of population does not get food. Bio pesticide is best alternative to increase production. To improve the nation's economy while reducing environmental pollution and health issues. Society must embrace a new agricultural paradigm for food production that is safer for both people and the environment because the ongoing use of pesticides has an adverse effect on the ecosystem and human health. (Stamatis, P & et al 2016). Depending on pesticide many more people may be at risk of developing chronic effects (such as cancer, poor reproductive outcome, and immunological effects) (Al-Saleh, I. A. 1994) pesticides transferred from the mother to the foetus through the placenta, resulting in birth abnormalities, (Repetto, R & et al 1996). Many more people may be susceptible to long-term consequences from pesticide use, including cancer, poor reproductive outcomes, and immunological problems. chemicals that are passed from the mother to the foetus via the placenta and cause birth defects, Excellent soil quality (prevents soil contamination), environmental preservation, economic stability through your own business and marketing, and societal health through wholesome food (free of hazardous residues) are all benefits of this activity. It opposes the use of chemical fertilisers, herbicides, and insecticides and promotes the use of easily accessible natural resources. Because our fruits, vegetables, and produce don't include chemical fertiliser residues, there is a lower risk of diabetes, cancer, heart attacks, paralysis, and other illnesses. Dashparni Arak, Panchparni Arak, Buttermilk, Jivamrut, Ghan Jivamrut are used in farming. Save health of community and working hours of nation

Introduction

In our country, science and technology were developed by 10% of the population, while the other 90% followed mindlessly. Nobody considers the consequences of the challenges we are experiencing today, which include water contamination, soil degradation, and a variety of health issues. This Project benefits to 90% of the follower population who can solves today's environmental problem. Agriculture and allied goods support 70% of India's population. Food, water and air, the most fundamental need of all living things, is presently being influenced by very harmful substances such as pesticides, fertilisers, insecticides, and so on. The green revolution prompted Punjab state to utilise excessive pesticides in crop production, transforming it into a "Storage of Wheat" capable of meeting the entire nation's demands but leaving 70 to 80 percent of its inhabitants cancer-stricken. Punjab is presently the state with the highest cancer sufferers. Punjab has surpassed all other states in terms of cancer patients. There is no space in Delhi hospital so the government has started operating a cancer train between Chandigarh and Bikaner. If we do not want any state to become Punjab, we must completely eliminate the use of pesticides in agricultural farming. And Diabetes, cancer, heart attacks, and high blood pressure are just a few of the health difficulties prevented by avoiding the use of chemical products. With rising food and fibre demand, today's agro ecosystem is increasingly reliant on pesticides. Massive volumes of synthetic insecticides are employed to boost output. Because 98% of pesticides sprayed directly or indirectly affect non-target creatures, this scenario poses a major risk to them. Additionally, 80% of pesticides sprayed directly contaminate the environment, ecosystem, natural biodiversity, pollinators, and food chains. Pesticide contamination of agro-lands' water sources exceeds 90%, and soil respiration is decreased by 35%. If we do not rescue the land by 2045, 50% of the world's population would be hungry. Bio pesticide is the finest option for increasing output. "Samarth Krushi" is best option to boost the nation's economy while lowering pollution and health hazards. Farmers must also have a reasonable way of life and a solid income in order to prevent farmer suicide.

Need of Project

In the entire world, 35% population of total population and in India, 33% population is suffering from cancer. And 7.6 millions of people die every year in the world by cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America. Diabetic patients make up 10.5% of the global population in 2021, and by 2045, this figure will have risen to 46%. If we do not save the land by 2045, half of the world's population will be hungry. To conserve soil, water, air and people's health, to increase the national economy while reducing pollution and health risks. This project was undertaken During the rainy season, grass and many vegetables are grown automatically called wild vegetable and are a very rich source of nutrients and minerals. These wild vegetables play a role as a nutritive diet as well as a curative medicine for many diseases. However, since the last few years, farmers have used growth inhibitors to destroy these useful vegetables, resulting in the loss of numerous natural medicines and the emergence of various diseases. Because of the repeated usage of this plant growth inhibitor, the soil became infertile. 90% of Indians are afflicted with some type of disease.

Methodology

Prepare healthy soil for crop growth by providing all nutrients to soil. A healthy soil is a good foundation for a healthy crop. If mother (soil) is healthy then baby (crop) is also healthy. Use of different bio-fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and growth promoters (Dashparni, Amrut Jal, biomass of forest vegetable, Jivamrut, Gokrupa amrut jal), among other things. Modern and traditional techniques are also used. Dashparni includes crush of neem, giloy, sharifa, jatrofa, karanj, mandar, raymunir, nirgudi, papita, kanher. All plant leaf 1 kg, except neem 2.5 kg and 5lit cow urine, 3kg cow dung, 1 kg green chili, 250 gm garlic, 250 gm ginjar, 250gm tobacco and 100 lit water. Mix it properly with wooden stick cover jute cloth, stir twice a day after 30 days it become very effective on all type diseases of plant. For spraying use 200 ml dashparni extract in 100 liter water. Amrut jal use as nutrient as well as growth promotor. Amrut jal include cow urine 1lit,cow dung 1kg, 10 lit water, 50 gm jaggery, cover it for 3day and stir it for twice a day after 3 day add 100 water. Spray it on plant or, pour it near plant while watering.

Result and Discussion

A few pesticide granules are sufficient to kill a little bird (https://www.pan-uk.org/our-environment/). Numerous types of pesticides, their hazardous action, and the various routes through which they contaminate our land, water, and air. Insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, garden chemicals, household disinfectants and rodenticides that are operated to both destroy and protect from pests. Decreased sperm motility, who exposed to pesticides. (Hossain, F& et al 2010) [8] People from 14 distinct in Pakistan's rural area were found residue of DDT, DDE, polytrin-C, diazinon, and monocrotophos. (Azmi, M. A et al 2006) [4] . Negative impacts of pesticide on human, animal, and higher plant health from prolonged exposure. (Igbedioh, S. O. 1991) [9] . Depending on pesticide many more people may be at risk of developing chronic effects (such as cancer, poor reproductive outcome, and immunological effects) (Al-Saleh, I. A. 1994) [3] . In 100 women, the transmission of organochlorine pesticides from the mother to the foetus has been investigated. The levels of organochlorine pesticides in the mother's blood, placenta, and umbilical cord blood of the same mother and child were investigated. (Saxena, M. C et al 1981). long-term effects (e.g., cancer, asthma, and diabetes), (Kim, K. H.& et al 2017) [13] . European countries have recorded a 70% reduction in insect biomass and a 50% decline in farmland birds. Similarly, species richness decreased by 42% in North America, Europe, and Australia. Bees are harmed by pesticide residues, which ultimately reduces their ecological value. The United Nations issued a warning that 40% of invertebrate pollinators, including bees and butterflies in particular, were in risk of going extinct on Earth. Due to harsh weather, there has been a nearly 30% decrease in honey bee populations in American and European countries (Ali, S& et al. 2021) [2] . Without chemicals, soil quality is higher, Fungicides used in agriculture may kill earthworms, which may lower populations of the animals and birds that eat them but are only marginally hazardous to birds and mammals. A few pesticide granules are sufficient to kill a little bird (https://www.pan-uk.org/our-environment/). People from 14 distinct in Pakistan's rural area were found residue of DDT, DDE, polytrin-C, diazinon, and monocrotophos. (Azmi, M. A et al 2006) [4] . Crude leaf extracts Om ten medicinal plants Azadirachta indica, Trida procumbens, Viter negundo, Tinospora cordifolia, Annona squamo, Sapongamia pinnata, L., Nerium oleander, Calotropis gigantea, Jatropha curcas L., and Carica papaya L. were made in order to assess the antifungal activity of Dashparni leaf extract against fungal pathogens. The agar well diffusion assay was used to measure the antifungal activity, and the results showed that it was effective in suppressing the fungus. (Adhao, A. D. & et al 2023) [1] . Neem seed kernel extract (NSKE), NSKE + Cow urine, Agniastra, Neemastra, Brahmastra, Panchparni ark and Dashparni ark against sucking insect pests of organic pigeonpea, (Gothi, H. R.& et al 2023) [6] . Natural plant ark used to control pest like Agrotis ipsilon Hufnagel (Joshi, M. J., Verma K.S.2023) [12] . The fourth, fifth, and sixth instar larvae of A. ipsilon were used in a feeding inhibition investigation of the bioformulations Neemastra, Agniastra, Brahmastra, Dashparni atra, and garlic + ginger + mint combo. (Joshi, M. J.& et al 2020) [10] . Thorder of toxicity 1st instar larvae was-dahparni ark > brahmastra > agniastra > neemastra > garlic + ginger + mint mixture with LC50 values 8.28, 10.38, 11.19, 14.53 and 16.66%, respectively (Joshi, M. J.& et al, 2021) [11] . Using the thin film residue method, a study was conducted on adults of Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) using neem-based insecticides, specifically azadirachtin. (Murthy, J. S.& et al 2024) [14] .

Chemical farming has reduced biodiversity, including crop and crop species, disturbed wildlife, decreased soil fertility, deteriorated food quality, and negatively impacted both human and animal health. A movement known as "organic farming" was started to counteract the harmful consequences of chemical farming. (Bhede, B. et al 2024) [5] . Applying organic and inorganic fertilisers in equal amounts to meet the recommended nitrogen level improved both the soil's nutrient availability and crop content while also raising the amount of chlorophyll. (Yadav, P. et al 2023) [22]

Conclusion

In conclusion, our study convincingly shows that biopesticides made from conventional formulations such as Dashparni ark, Panchparni ark, and Jivamrut provide a safe, environmentally friendly substitute for dangerous chemical pesticides. Chemical pesticides have been shown to have disastrous effects on human health (such as cancer, birth deformities, and reproductive diseases), the environment (such as biodiversity loss, soil infertility, and water contamination), and agricultural sustainability. We can safeguard ecosystems, enhance food safety, lower the prevalence of chronic illnesses, and guarantee long-term food security by using organic agricultural methods that make use of these organic bio-pesticides. To enable a broad shift from chemical-dependent agriculture to these safer, conventional options that support ecological balance and public health concerns, immediate policy changes and farmer education initiatives are required.
