Abstract
 
The study examined the estimate of the desired level and the actual level of consumption of agricultural pesticides and their impact on the environment in Egypt, where the desired or targeted level of consumption of pesticides, fungi, weeds and total in Egypt during the period 1995-2016 was estimated and the most important factors were identified Specific to the desired or target level, and to compare the desired level with the actual (current) level to determine the extent of the disparity between them, the desired level of local consumption of pesticides, fungi and weeds was estimated to be significantly lower than the actual level in each of them, which indicates that The presence of a great overuse of agricultural pesticides in the Egyptian agricultural sector, and the accompanying negative effects on the environment, human and animal as the study also addressed the impact of the consumption of agricultural pesticides on the environment in Egypt by explaining this effect on water, soil, crop production Vegetables, fruits, fish ,animal products, and human general health.
 by reviewing the share of the acre planted in total consumption of agricultural pesticides during the period 1995-2016 to increase both globally and for Egypt, found that the average annual share of the acre planted in the total The consumption of agricultural pesticides reached about 0.3 kg worldwide during the period 1995-2016, while about 0.92 kg for Egypt during the same period, a very significant increase from the world average of about 302.23%, which clearly indicates a significant overconsumption Pesticides in Egyptian agriculture
