Insecticides are chemical substances used to control or eliminate insects that can damage crops and plants. They work by targeting specific biological processes in insects, leading to their death or repulsion. Insecticides can be derived from natural sources, such as plants, or synthesized in laboratories, providing a wide range of options for agricultural use. These chemicals are typically applied to crops, soil, or as a part of integrated pest management strategies to protect agricultural yields.
