Abstract

Chemicals and other materials in the form of jasad renik and viruses are used to prevent or eradicate pests that can damage plants. They are usually called pesticides. Some plants or agricultural products that stimulate plant growth kill some plants without fertiliser and prevent unwanted growth. Severe poisoning refers to low-level long-term effects or exposure to toxic substances, such as frequent spraying of pesticides during dangerous spraying times. The effects of chronic exposure do not appear immediately after the first exposure; it takes a long time for symptoms to appear.
