Pests

Pests are unwanted organisms that can cause harm to crops, livestock, or human health. They include insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents that can damage food sources, spread diseases, or disrupt ecosystems. For example, insects like aphids can damage plants, while rats can contaminate food supplies. Effective pest management is important in agriculture and public health and often involves methods like biological control, pesticides, and habitat management to minimize their negative impacts while maintaining ecological balance. Understanding and controlling pests is essential for food security and health protection.
