Food supply and consumption is one among the basic necessities of life. Its availability has been a focal point of concern to the global community and has also necessitated the increased agricultural activities with the cultivation of rice inclusive. This paper studied the application of a mathematical model in analysing the impact of agro-chemical residues in rice production. The numerical simulations of the model confirmed the analytical results and the outcome of the study attest to the fact that agro-chemical residues could have negative impact when consumed through farm products, such as rice grains among others, if not controlled. Keywords: Rice, Cultivation, Agro-chemicals, Model.
