crop-protection

7 articles

Crop protection encompasses the science and practice of managing pests, pathogens, and weeds that threaten agricultural plants and reduce yields. It is fundamental to plant science because understanding how plants interact with biological threats—from insects and fungi to competing vegetation—drives the development of sustainable strategies that safeguard food security. Research in this field integrates plant biology, ecology, and agronomy to minimize crop losses while reducing reliance on chemical interventions.
