pesticide-exposure
Pesticide exposure refers to the contact of plants with chemical agents designed to control insects, weeds, fungi, or other pests. Studying this exposure is crucial for understanding how these compounds affect plant physiology, growth, and stress responses, including impacts on beneficial processes like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. This research also informs agricultural practices, helping to balance effective pest management with minimizing unintended harm to crop health and yield.
