Pesticide

A pesticide is a chemical substance used by farmers and gardeners to protect plants from pests such as insects, weeds, fungi, and other organisms that can damage crops. Its purpose is to reduce or eliminate these threats, helping ensure healthy plant growth and higher yields. Pesticides can be applied in various forms, like sprays or powders. While they are effective for pest control, cautious use is important to minimize potential risks to human health, beneficial insects, and the environment. Proper application and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to maximize benefits and reduce drawbacks.
