pesticide use

Pesticides are chemicals used to protect crops, plants, and even homes from pests like insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents. They help ensure healthy growth and prevent damage or disease that pests can cause. While they can be very effective, their use requires careful management to minimize risks to human health, non-target species, and the environment. Responsible application involves selecting the appropriate pesticide, following safety guidelines, and using integrated pest management practices to reduce reliance and potential negative impacts. Proper use helps balance the benefits of pest control with environmental and health considerations.
