The control methods to be used can be chemical, physical or biological. For physical and chemical control there are specific products for each type of pest.

Although the soil is the main element of support and nutrition for crops, it is possible to grow crops without it. Substrates are solid media, whos...

In livestock farms the presence of arthropods is frequent. For its control, the measures are diverse and almost specific for each case, since it not only depends on the method used, but also on the design and state of the facilities. Some arthropods can be transmitters of diseases, generating economic losses. Others cause discomfort to livestock by reducing their production. A tool available on the market for the control of arthropods is the use of insecticides.

Fruit trees are a group of vegetables with a very varied appearance. In these times, they have become the most desired trees for their fruit.

Fruit growing is the technique of growing trees that produce fruit. It includes all the concepts about caring for trees. T

Three very important aspects of caring for fruit trees are fertilization, pruning, and diseases and/or pests.

On a dairy farm, milking is the most important activity. It should try to minimize the contamination of milk. For this, a milking routine must be established.

Mastitis is an inflammatory reaction of the mammary gland. Inflammation occurs as a result of shock, presence of pathogens and/or toxins in the gland tissue. To reduce the incidence of mastitis there are several considerations to take into account.

The presence of weeds or weeds is one of the main problems facing agricultural production. We can define them as any species that grows in an inappropriate place and time, hindering the farmer's production plans and putting crop yields and the quality of the product to be harvested at risk.

Knowing the digestive system of ruminants and its function will allow us to know what type of food we should provide them. Ruminants, such as cows, sheep and goats are herbivores, have a stomach with four divisions and are the only ones capable of digesting cellulose (fiber) at the ruminal level. The nutritional needs of the animals must be covered by the food offered to them. Nutritional needs are not the same for each animal, since they are affected by the level of production, genetics and environmental conditions, among others.

Insects are the most abundant animals on planet Earth and consume any type of organic substance. They are small in size and have a segmented body.

Except for a few cases, in insects the sexes are separate and their reproduction is sexual.

Pest insects negatively affect agricultural production, causing damage to crops and therefore economic losses.

The presence of pests in the home is a common problem. Although they can occur throughout the year; although the critical moment is summer, when the climatic conditions are more favorable for its development. There are several factors that contribute to the appearance of pests. The correct identification of them allows us to select an adequate control method.

Farms today, where production is intensive, are at permanent risk from the action of pathogenic organisms. The onset of an infectious disease compromises the viability of farms (reducing their income) and the health of animals and even operators. 

Pathogens are able to live and reproduce in moist environments where organic matter is present. Just as each organism has conditions in which its development is optimal, its behavior towards chemical products varies according to the pathogen to be combated.

In ancient times, farmers had to produce and store their own seed. Currently, developed countries have managed to produce quality seeds, with a well-developed seed industry. Seeds are the unit of plant propagation derived from the fertilized ovule in angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms. Its function is to increase the number of individuals of a species and perpetuate it, both in space and time. Seeds can be classified according to their resistance to desiccation.

Fungi have a cosmopolitan distribution and are found in almost all environments. They can have different food sources. Those that feed on cultivated plants can cause significant disease, causing production and profit to be lost.

Different strategies are used to manage pathogenic fungi, including chemical control based on fungicides, which are phytosanitary products capable of eliminating them. Some fungicides, in addition, can provide protection for a time to the host plant, transforming the environment into a place that is not conducive to the development of fungi.

They make up the main group of chemical products used for the management and control of plant diseases.
