Chlorpyrifos pesticides have been linked to neurodevelopmental issues in children and potential carcinogenic properties in adults and the excessive use of both chlorpyrifos and urea fertilizers may result in soil acidification, which lowers soil fertility and affects crop yields, threatening global food security. Sustainable agricultural practices are crucial to address these concerns. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the chemistry of urea fertilizers (CO(NH2)2) and chlorpyrifos pesticides (C9H11Cl3NO3PS) in the context of agricultural education. The study covers various aspects including their chemical properties, synthesis, formulation, application, environmental impact, and regulatory considerations. Molecular structures, composition, synthesis methods, and physical-chemical properties such as solubility and stability were examined alongside their effects on the environment and the regulatory guidelines for safe use in agriculture. This study emphasizes the urgent requirement for remedial measures, including proper use of Chlorpyrifos herbicide, urea fertilizers, and their roles in sustainable agricultural practices.
