agricultural pesticides
Agricultural pesticides are chemicals used by farmers to protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. They help improve crop yields and ensure food security by controlling organisms that can damage plants. Pesticides can be classified into different categories, including insecticides for insects, herbicides for weeds, and fungicides for fungi.
While pesticides can be effective, their use raises concerns about environmental impact and human health. Proper application and management are essential to minimize risks. Farmers often follow guidelines to ensure that pesticides are used safely and responsibly, balancing the need for crop protection with ecological considerations.
