Agricultural pest management is a critically important aspect of agriculture that involves the monitoring and control of pests that can damage crops and reduce yields. This field of research focuses on developing effective and environmentally sustainable strategies to prevent, manage, and control pests such as insects, weeds, and diseases in agricultural production systems. Researchers in this area study pest biology, behavior, and ecology to better understand how pests interact with crops and develop methods to minimize their impact. These methods may include integrated pest management practices, biological control, cultural practices, and the use of pesticides as a last resort. The goal of agricultural pest management is to protect crops from damage while minimizing the negative impacts on human health and the environment.
