Agricultural pest management

Agricultural pest management involves monitoring and controlling insects, weeds, and diseases that threaten crops. The goal is to protect plant health and maximize yields while minimizing harm to the environment. Techniques include using beneficial insects, crop rotation, resistant plant varieties, and targeted use of pesticides when necessary. An integrated approach balances biological, cultural, and chemical methods to manage pests effectively, sustainably, and safely. This careful coordination helps farmers produce healthy crops and reduce economic losses while preserving ecological balance.
