Notes: This is an interesting article about the development of agricultural pesticides and how over the years, we have been tricked and deceived into using these harmful chemicals. Pesticide use often damages soil qaulity and has a negative long term effect on the plantlife. The most important statement made in the article was: "All pesticides have one thing in common in common - they are poisons designed to kill things and they have the potential to be harmful to humans if ingested in sufficient amounts."
