Pesticides (Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides)

Pesticides are chemical or biological substances used to control, repel, or eliminate pests such as insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents that damage crops, spread diseases, or harm the environment. They play a key role in agriculture by protecting yields and ensuring food security. However, excessive or improper use can lead to health risks, environmental pollution, and harm to non-target species. Proper regulation and sustainable alternatives (like integrated pest management) are encouraged to minimize negative effects
