Synthetic pesticides
Synthetic pesticides are man-made chemicals designed to control or eliminate pests such as insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents. They are created through chemical processes in laboratories and are widely used in agriculture, gardening, and public health to protect crops, prevent disease, and maintain cleanliness. While effective at reducing pest damage, synthetic pesticides can also impact non-target organisms and the environment if not used carefully. Therefore, they require proper application and management to balance pest control benefits with potential ecological and health risks.
