The agrochemical<\/strong> is the specialization of the chemistry<\/strong> which consists of the use of organic substances in the framework of an industry and the application of chemical products<\/strong> (such as pesticides and fertilizers) in agricultural activities.<\/p>\n

\"Agrochemical\"By extension, it is known as agrochemical to chemical substance<\/strong> who uses the human being<\/strong> with the objective of optimize the performance of a farm<\/strong>. These products are often used to fight pests<\/strong> affecting crops and to promote a faster growth<\/strong> of the plants.<\/p>\n

In the same way, we cannot ignore another important series of functions performed by the aforementioned agrochemicals. Specifically, they include providing the necessary amount of nutrients to the soil, killing microorganisms that are damaging the land or directly crops and eliminating weeds that may exist.<\/p>\n

The pesticides<\/strong>Therefore, they can be agrochemicals. In this case, the products are spread through fumigation with the intention of keeping those species that can damage them away from the crops. There are liquid, solid and gaseous pesticides.<\/p>\n

According to the plague they fight, pesticides can be divided into fungicides<\/strong> (eliminate fungi), bactericidal<\/strong> (bacteria), insecticides<\/strong> (insects) and other groups. It is important to bear in mind that these agrochemicals, although they can help control pests, can also have harmful effects on the environment and on the Health<\/strong> of people.<\/p>\n

In addition to the aforementioned agrochemicals, we must not forget others that are also widely used in the field of agriculture. We are referring to some like these:
-The herbicides, which are those whose main function is to carry out the elimination of all types of plants that are harmful to the ground.
-Acaricides, which are responsible for repelling mites.
-Rodenticides, which are intended to kill rodents that cause damage to crops and which, in addition, have the peculiarity that they can transmit certain diseases to humans.
-Nematicides, which are used by farmers to get rid of worms that appear in the soil and with certain parasites that appear on plants.
-The phytoregulators, which come to regulate the growth of crops and do so through what is called phytohormones. In this way, according to each moment, they promote or slow down the development of the roots.
-Fertilizers, which, as their name suggests, are the agrochemicals responsible for facilitating and speeding up the growth of certain plants.<\/p>\n

Most agrochemicals are toxic<\/strong> and, in some cases, they can be fatal to humans when swallowed, inhaled, or touched. The main danger lies in the fact that most of the agrochemical that is fumigated goes beyond the sector to be fumigated because, due to the wind and other factors, it ends up reaching different places. In this way, agrochemicals can contaminate the water used by plants. people<\/strong>, for example.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
