A pesticide is a chemical substance that is used to kill or control pests, such as insects, fungi, weeds, and rodents. Pesticides are widely used in agriculture, forestry,
and urban environments to protect crops, forests, and buildings from damage caused by pests.
There are many different types of pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides. Each type of pesticide is specifically designed to target a particular type of pest.
Pesticides can be applied using various methods, including spraying, dusting, and baiting. However, it is important to use pesticides responsibly and only when necessary, as they can also have negative impacts on non-target organisms and the environment.
