SOIL POLLUTION STATUS AND IMPACT OF PESTICIDES ON CROP DEVELOPMENT IN SELECTED REGION OF AMRAVATI DISTRICT, MAHARASHTRA (INDIA)

Pesticides applied to the soil tend to be a mixture of different active substances. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze their influence on the biological activity of the soil. The research work did from Daryapur region of Amravati district in October 2022 to December 2022.This review attempts to discuss the activity of such compounds on microbial community and soil pollution status in the rural and urban area. It also investigates the degradation of pesticides in soil and the prevention of their negative effects on soil biological activity. So far, there are almost no studies offering a comprehensive view of biological activity in soil, with little attention paid to the effect of different pesticides and their metabolites. The impact of pesticides on soil health is still a current and important issue that requires constant monitoring. This review summarizes the latest scientific reports on soil enzymes and microbial events, as well as changes 
in below-ground biochemistry under the influence of pesticides. Enzymatic and microbiological responses following pesticide application are difficult to interpret due to their physical diversity and diversity of degradation pathways. The optimization of agricultural production has recently become necessary to meet the food needs of the growing world population. To address this formidable challenge, the application of agrochemicals, including synthetic pesticides in intensive farming practices, has increased alarmingly. However, the excessive and indiscriminate use of pesticides to promote food production leads to its extreme confession in the soil.
