About

    Crop pests are organisms that cause damage to crops and reduce their yield and quality. These pests can include insects, diseases, weeds, and other organisms that compete with crops for nutrients and resources. They can significantly impact agricultural production by decreasing yield, increasing production costs, and reducing the overall quality of the crop. Managing crop pests effectively is essential for maintaining food security and sustainable agriculture. This research area focuses on identifying, monitoring, and controlling crop pests through various methods, such as biological control, integrated pest management, and the development of resistant crop varieties.
