Agrochemistry
  • 1. Agrochemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with chemical processes and transformations that occur in agriculture. It involves the study of interactions between chemicals and living organisms in the soil, plants, and animals in the context of agricultural production. Agrochemistry plays a crucial role in the development of fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemical products that help enhance crop yield, improve soil health, and mitigate pest and disease damage. By understanding the chemical properties of soils, nutrients, and crop protection products, agrochemists can contribute significantly to sustainable agriculture practices and food security worldwide.
