Plant protection is a research area focused on developing strategies to protect plants from pests, diseases, and other threats that can damage or hinder their growth. This includes studying the biology and behavior of pests, identifying and managing invasive species, and developing sustainable and environmentally friendly methods for pest control. Plant protection research also involves investigating the effects of climate change on plant health and identifying ways to mitigate these impacts. The ultimate goal of plant protection research is to ensure the long-term health and productivity of plants for agricultural, ecological, and economic purposes.
