Agricultural pesticides

Agricultural pesticides are chemicals used by farmers to protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. They help increase crop yield and quality by controlling insects, fungi, and unwanted plants. Pesticides include insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, each targeting specific problems. While they improve food production, their use must be managed carefully to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety for humans. Proper application and regulation help balance the benefits of pest control with environmental and health considerations.
