Plants' absorption of pesticides through roots and leaves indicated their susceptibility. The cumulative impact on individual plants and animals underscored the need to address potential ecological consequences. In the study urged a careful evaluation of pesticide usage, considering environmental impacts. Adhering to label instructions and exploring alternatives with lower toxicity was advised.
