Sažetak

Pesticides enable high agricultural yields needed to fulfil the demands of modern civilisation. This makes pesticides necessary despite their numerous negative impacts on the environment. Pesticides may cause direct or indirect damage to any group of organisms in aquatic habitats. The length of time needed for the rehabilitation of a community depends on the location and time of pollution as well as on the concentration of pesticides. The most efficient mitigation measure against harmful impacts of pesticides on aquatic habitats is the prevention of their entry
into aquatic ecosystems, which can be achieved by their responsible use and protection measures, such as vegetation buffer zones and canals overgrown with vegetation that retain harmful substances and slow down their disposal in open inland waters.
