Insecticide research focuses on the development and testing of chemicals or substances that are used to control or eliminate insects that are considered pests. This area of research is important for agriculture, public health, and environmental protection. Researchers study the effectiveness, safety, environmental impact, and potential resistance of insecticides to ensure that they can be used efficiently and responsibly. They may also investigate new approaches, such as natural or biological insecticides, to control insect populations while minimizing harm to non-target organisms.
