Agrochemicals are man-made substances containing biological or artificial components that are intended to increase crop yields and quality. Agrochemicals can be divided into two categories: fertilizers and pesticides. Fertilizers enhance crop quality by providing essential nutrients to the soil and crop, whereas pesticides safeguard crops and either eliminate or deter dangerous pests and weeds. Given the current state of the planet's population, a higher crop yield on the arable land is essential to feeding the world's population. Agrochemicals are therefore crucial to the agriculture industry because they enable farmers to increase the quantity and quality of their harvests.
