Aspects of reducing pesticide load on ecosystems

The article analyzes the market of pesticides, their impact on the environment, the dynamics of the main groups application. A strategy for reducing the pesticide load on agroecosystems is presented, including a description of the basic requirements for modern plant protection. Obtaining environmentally safe crop production is directly related to the modernization of approaches to integrated plant protection, with the introduction of the main trend of modernity - "green" technologies, conducting scientific research aimed at studying the mechanisms of non-standard action of drugs, as well as increasing the share of the biological component in plant protection and nutrition, digitalization of all activities of the crop industry. Herbicides (55-65%) are of predominant importance in terms of annual use, reducing the ecotoxicological effect of which is possible through the use of environmentally friendly growth hormones of weeds, leading to their rapid growth, subsequent depletion and death. Annual losses of crop yield and quality of crop production from diseases amount to 15-50%, fungicides account for 20-25% of the total volume of pesticides. The breeding and use of resistant varieties and hybrids, the use of eco-fertilizers, biofertilizers, biostimulants that enhance the immune activity of plants, as well as the use of biofungicides will reduce the pathological effect of mycotoxins. The increased use of insecticides over the past 4 years by 200.8% indicates the need to search for alternative, environmentally low-risk methods of plant protection based on an integrated approach of all known and non-standard methods, as well as the digitalization sector of monitoring and plant protection. The purpose of the work is to analyze pesticide market, dynamics of type application, impact on the environment.
