Chemical control

Chemical control involves using specific chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, or sterilants, to manage pests, weeds, or undesirable organisms in an environment. It aims to reduce or eliminate these targets to protect crops, livestock, or ecosystems. Chemical control is often employed alongside other methods like cultural or biological strategies for integrated pest management. While effective, it requires careful application to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety for humans and non-target species. Proper regulation, timing, and dosage are essential to maximize benefits and reduce potential risks.
