How do pesticide sprays on crops affect our senses



Fifteen years ago, Tim Parton, manager of Brewed Park Farm in Staffordshire, UK, decided to start an organic farming experiment to try his luck.

Instead of using synthetic insecticide sprays (pesticides) and fertilizers, they used self-developed biologically active natural materials such as Trichoderma (a type of fungus) on their crops to grow both of them. 


The Partons are part of a growing farming community, a community that is pursuing the renaissance of agriculture. She prioritizes soil and environmental health by minimizing the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.


After experiencing headaches and skin rashes from using pesticides, they started using biologically active alternatives.


When they dipped the sheep in an insecticide solution to remove parasites (organisms that feed on and feed on other bodies) from their skins, it often resulted in lumps on their arms.


This reaction lasted for several days. "My condition would have worsened, but if I went to the doctors, they would say, 'You've had a reaction,'


Parton's health has not been adversely affected since adopting organic farming methods. They have not had to use phosphorus and potassium  fertilizers on their crops for more than 10 years.


They say they have seen a huge increase in insect and bird species since they stopped using pesticides to control insects and weeds.


"I have found more birds here," he says. Many endangered species are growing here because the food source is here.


Pesticides are substances or chemicals used to repel, kill and control insects or other organisms that affect plant growth. Although effective, pesticides contain harmful chemicals that can have extensive, and sometimes chronic, effects on the human senses and nervous system.


They were first used to protect crops in the United States in the 1930s, after which many agricultural communities soon began to rely on them because of their dramatic impact on yields. Today, about one-third of the world's agricultural products contain pesticides.
