The surrounding envelope in which we are living is called environment and degradation in its quality due to contamination by pollutants is called environmental pollution. The present situation of the earth that we are facing is the result of centuries of exploitation of earth’s resources. Agricultural pollution refers to organic and/or inorganic byproducts of agricultural sector that result in degradation or contamination of the environment. Agricultural pollution mainly exists as water pollution, soil pollution and air pollution. Agricultural lands discharge large quantities of insecticides, pesticides and other organic-inorganic residues into the ecosystem. The technical revolution in the agricultural sector has brought forward biological, chemical, and physical hazards. Crop intensification, farmers’ misperceptions, minimization of import restrictions, availability of subsidized fertilizers and pesticides, weak monitoring are the most direct causes of agricultural pollution. Management practices in production of agricultural crops, livestock and aquaculture play the key role in preventing agricultural pollution. Practical solutions should be made to reduce the harsh effects on the living beings. The present research paper is an effort to through the lights on the various aspects of the agricultural pollution.
