Pesticide Application
Pesticide application refers to the process of using chemical substances to control pests that can harm crops, plants, and livestock. These chemicals can target insects, weeds, fungi, and other unwanted organisms. Farmers and agricultural workers apply pesticides to protect their yields and ensure healthy growth, often using equipment like sprayers or spreaders for even distribution.
The timing and method of pesticide application are crucial for effectiveness and safety. Applications can be done before planting, during growth, or after harvest, depending on the pest and crop type. Proper training and adherence to guidelines help minimize risks to humans, wildlife, and the environment.
