Agrochemicals
Agrochemicals are chemical products used in agriculture to enhance crop production and protect plants from pests and diseases. They include fertilizers, which provide essential nutrients to plants, and pesticides, which help control harmful insects, weeds, and fungi. These substances play a crucial role in modern farming by increasing yields and ensuring food security.
While agrochemicals can improve agricultural efficiency, their use also raises environmental and health concerns. Over-reliance on these chemicals can lead to soil degradation, water contamination, and harm to non-target species. Sustainable practices and integrated pest management are being explored to minimize these negative impacts while maintaining agricultural productivity.
