Pesticides are playing a dominant role in modern cultivation practices to increase agricultural production but also criticized for environmental depletion and soil underground water degradation field applications. An imperative need greener pesticides has emerged alignment with new innovations agrarian practices. This study provides comprehensive review of marketable banned that have been applied past times or still use agriculture. The collected literature disclosed 35 distinct were identified either isolated mixtures residues. These primarily fields, some them human implications. Then, these grouped into four categories: insecticides (18), herbicides (9), fungicides (6), acaricides (2). Furthermore, their molecular types, chemical structures, pKa log Kow values presented. Based on structure, the organized two domains: "marketable simulated" "banned simulated", representing 43% 57% total pesticides, respectively. simulations generated by linking elemental composition each pesticide corresponding category; therefore, three (the not representative) demonstrated. In addition, calculation "adjustment factors" (-0.33 up +0.50) "as calculated/marketable (or banned) simulated pesticides" ratios (0.946 1.013) enabled identification clusters homogeneous characteristics: cluster 1: "Insecticides, Fungicides, marketable", 2: "Herbicides, 3: banned", 4: "Acaricides, Herbicides, banned". Subsequently, elements C H crystallography characterization only "marketable" those "banned", compounds already registered "Crystallography Open Database". Conclusively, implications, challenges, future research recommendations proposed.
