One study found that not using pesticides reduced crop yields by about 10%. Another study, conducted in 1999, found that a ban on pesticides in the United States may result in a rise of food prices , loss of jobs, and an increase in world hunger. There are two levels of benefits for pesticide use, primary and secondary. Primary benefits are direct gains from

11904-1144: The partial bans on neonicotinoids . Revised 2023 guidance by registration authorities describes the bee testing that is required for new insecticides to be approved for commercial use. In addition to their main use in agriculture , pesticides have a number of other applications. Pesticides are used to control organisms that are considered to be harmful, or pernicious to their surroundings. For example, they are used to kill mosquitoes that can transmit potentially deadly diseases like West Nile virus , yellow fever , and malaria . They can also kill bees , wasps or ants that can cause allergic reactions. Insecticides can protect animals from illnesses that can be caused by parasites such as fleas . Pesticides can prevent sickness in humans that could be caused by moldy food or diseased produce. Herbicides can be used to clear roadside weeds, trees, and brush.
