Crop Pests

Crop pests are organisms that adversely affect the growth and yield of agricultural crops. They can be insects, weeds, fungi, bacteria, viruses, or animals that damage crops by feeding on them, competing for resources, or transmitting diseases. The presence of crop pests can lead to significant economic losses for farmers and affect food supply. Effective pest management strategies are crucial for mitigating their impact, which can include chemical pesticides, biological controls, crop rotation, and integrated pest management practices.
