Agricultural Entomology

Agricultural entomology is the study of insects and the relationship between insects and the environment, with a focus on their impact on agriculture. It encompasses the science of controlling and managing the populations of harmful and beneficial insects. This knowledge helps farmers avoid costly crop losses that can be caused by pests, as well as optimize crop yields through the use of natural resources such as pollinators and biological pest control. Agricultural entomology is an important field that contributes to food security through the development of sustainable farming practices.
