In order to increase crop yield by shielding plants from damaging pests and weeds, crop protection chemicals are widely used in modern agriculture. In order to provide food security for the expanding populace, agricultural productivity has increased. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) reports that Brazil, China, and the United States are the three countries that buy the most of these protective goods. One of the key reasons for increasing agricultural output in these nations is high pesticide usage.

The global losses caused on by insect pests have decreased from 13.6% in the post-green revolution era to 10.8% at the turn of the century. The drastic changes in crop production methods, the use of these protective agents, raised knowledge of field and post-harvest losses, and necessary management measures were all factors in the drop in pest infestation.
