Abstract

Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), a high-value spice crop, is often subjected to intensive pesticide applications to combat pests and diseases. However, the use of toxic pesticides raises significant concerns regarding their dissipation patterns and residual effects on the ecosystem, harvested produce and human health. This review examines the fate and behavior of toxic pesticides in cardamom cultivation, focusing on their application methods, degradation kinetics and persistence in soil, water and plant tissues. Factors influencing pesticide dissipation such as environmental conditions, soil properties and microbial activity are critically analyzed. The long-term residual impacts on cardamom quality, non-target organisms and consumer safety are also discussed. Furthermore, the review highlights existing regulatory limits, analytical detection methods and potential mitigation strategies to minimize pesticide residues in cardamom. By utilizing existing research, this paper aims to provide insights into sustainable pest management practices that reduce reliance on hazardous chemicals while maintaining ensuring crop productivity and ensuring food safety.
