Agricultural entomology is a branch of entomology that focuses on the study of insects and their impact on agriculture. This research area involves the study of insect pests that damage crops, as well as beneficial insects that can be used for biological control. Agricultural entomologists work to develop strategies to manage insect pests in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner, often through the use of integrated pest management techniques. This field also involves research on the biology, behavior, ecology, and physiology of agricultural insects, as well as the development of insect-resistant crop varieties. Agricultural entomologists play a crucial role in ensuring food security and sustainable agriculture practices.
