pesticide-toxicity

2 articles

Pesticide toxicity in plant science examines how agricultural chemicals—including fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and soil fumigants—affect plant health, soil ecosystems, and non-target organisms at varying concentrations. Understanding toxicity classifications helps researchers balance effective pest and disease management with minimizing harm to crops, beneficial microbes, and surrounding flora. This research is critical for developing safer agricultural practices that protect plant biodiversity while maintaining yield and quality.
