No, for all practical purposes. Radioactive materials are not put in pesticides and fertilizers.
To be very precise, there are radioactive isotopes all around us, and some of these are in pesticides and fertilizers. 0.012% of all potassium is radioactive, and some is bound to be there. But it is also everywhere else, it is needed for life, and it is not something to worry about.
