Abstract
In Nepal, agriculture is commercializing day by day and levels of agro-chemical use are growing. This is beginning to raise concerns about the health and environmental impacts of farm chemicals such as pesticides. Thus, a useful question to ask is how and to what extent pesticides help Nepali farmers increase their yields and profitability.
