Agricultural pests are organisms that harm crops and reduce agricultural productivity. These pests can include insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents, which compete with plants for nutrients, water, and light. They can also transmit diseases that affect plant health, leading to lower yields and economic losses for farmers. Effective pest management is crucial for maintaining healthy crops. Farmers often use a combination of methods, including integrated pest management (IPM), which combines biological, cultural, and chemical strategies to control pest populations. Understanding the life cycles and behaviors of these pests helps in developing targeted approaches to minimize their impact on agriculture.
