ABSTRACT
Agrochemicals play crucial role in agriculture to increase productivity and quality of produce as well. Pesticides, one of the key farm input, has increased production drastically by protecting crops from dangerous pests and diseases. Another important input is plant growth regulator which is used to control different growth behavior of crop plants. But, continuous use of agrochemicals is detrimental to natural environmental processes and may impose health risk to the humans. Researches have been advanced to bring agrochemicals with new mode of action to ascertain safety to the non-target organisms and also to reduce environmental load. Simultaneously, several countries, including India, have been coming up with more restricted regulation related to pesticide application.
