Pesticides are chemical substances used to control or eliminate pests such as insects, weeds, and fungi that can damage crops and cause economic losses in agriculture. Pesticides can be classified into several categories, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides, depending on their target and mode of action. While pesticides are essential for crop protection and increasing food production, they also raise concerns about their potential impact on human health, non-target organisms, and the environment. Research in the area of pesticides aims to develop more effective and environmentally friendly formulations, assess the risks associated with their use, and explore alternative pest management strategies to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.
