Systematic approaches to machine learning models for predicting pesticide toxicity

Pesticides play an important role in modern agriculture by protecting crops from pests and diseases. However, the negative consequences of pesticides, such as environmental contamination and adverse effects on human and ecological health, underscore the importance of accurate toxicity predictions. To address this issue, artificial intelligence models have emerged as valuable methods for predicting the toxicity of organic compounds. In this review article, we explore the application of machine learning (ML) for pesticide toxicity prediction. This review provides a detailed summary of recent developments, prediction models, and datasets used for pesticide toxicity prediction. In this analysis, we compared the results of several algorithms that predict the harmfulness of various classes of pesticides. Furthermore, this review article identified emerging trends and areas for future direction, showcasing the transformative potential of machine learning in promoting safer pesticide usage and sustainable agriculture.
