Agricultural pest control refers to the methods and strategies used to manage and mitigate the negative impact of pests on crops and livestock in agriculture. Pests can include insects, weeds, fungi, and bacteria that reduce crop yields, damage plants, and transmit diseases. Agricultural pest control methods can range from biological control using natural predators or parasites, cultural practices such as crop rotation or planting resistant varieties, to chemical control using pesticides. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach that combines multiple control methods to effectively manage pest populations while minimizing environmental impact and ensuring sustainable farming practices. Agricultural pest control is crucial for protecting the food supply, increasing crop yield, and reducing economic losses for farmers.
