Pests and Diseases

Pests and diseases are problems that can harm plants, crops, or animals. Pests are creatures like insects, rodents, or mites that feed on or damage plants and animals, reducing their health or yield. Diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi that infect plants or animals, leading to symptoms like spots, wilting, or decay. Both pests and diseases can spread quickly and affect productivity, quality, and safety. Preventing or managing them involves monitoring, good hygiene, and using appropriate treatments to protect health and improve outcomes.
