chemical agents used to eliminate or manage harmful organisms

Pesticides are chemical substances used to kill or control pests, including insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents, that can damage crops, spread diseases, or cause other harm. They are essential in agriculture to protect plants and increase yields, but their use must be carefully managed to avoid potential negative impacts on human health, beneficial organisms, and the environment.
