Applying pesticides

  • Treating infestation of pests
  • Destroying pests with chemicals

Description

Applying pesticides involves the targeted use of chemical or biological agents to control, repel, or eliminate pests that threaten crops, livestock, or human health. This strategy aims to reduce pest populations, prevent disease transmission, and minimize agricultural losses. Effective application requires selecting appropriate substances, timing, and methods to maximize efficacy while minimizing harm to non-target species, the environment, and human safety, thereby addressing specific pest-related problems and supporting food security and public health.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
