pesticide-risk
Pesticide risk refers to the potential for agricultural chemicals to lose effectiveness or cause unintended harm, often driven by pests evolving resistance through natural selection when repeatedly exposed to the same control agents. For plant science, understanding this risk is essential to developing sustainable crop protection strategies, as resistant pest populations can undermine yield, food security, and the long-term viability of chemical interventions. Research in this area informs how plants and pests interact under selective pressure, guiding the design of more resilient agricultural systems.
