Pest management is the practice of controlling or eliminating pests that can cause harm to crops, animals, or humans. This includes insects, weeds, and other organisms that compete with or damage the desired plants or animals. Pest management techniques can include biological control, physical control, cultural control, and chemical control. The goal of pest management is to reduce the negative impact of pests while minimizing harm to the environment, humans, and non-target species. This research area is crucial for maintaining the health and productivity of agricultural systems and ecosystems.
