Importance of insecticides in crop production
Insecticides are pesticides that kill or prevent insects from developing. They are essential components of an Integrated Pest Management strategy.
- By protecting crops from insects and their developmental stages, insecticides allow farmers to grow more food on less soil.
- The use of insecticides would increase production per hectare.
- They allow farmers to grow nutritious, high-quality foods at reasonable prices.
- They also assist farmers in producing an abundance of healthy, all-year-round food that is needed for human health.
- Insecticides reduce exposure to food polluted by toxic microorganisms and naturally occurring pollutants, thus avoiding food-related diseases.
