Pest
Pests are organisms that negatively impact human activities, particularly in agriculture, by damaging crops, livestock, and food storage. They can be insects, weeds, rodents, or fungi. Pests reduce crop yields, decrease the quality of produce, and can even spread diseases to plants, animals, and humans. Managing pests is a critical aspect of agriculture, public health, and food storage.

Pest control
Pest control refers to the regulation or management of pests, typically in agricultural fields, homes, or businesses, to prevent damage to crops, property, and public health. The goal is to reduce or eliminate pest populations using various methods that range from chemical and mechanical means to biological and cultural approaches. Effective pest control helps maintain the quality and quantity of agricultural products, ensures food safety, and reduces health risks associated with pests.

Soil Chemistry
Soil chemistry is the study of the chemical composition, reactions, and properties within soils. It plays a crucial role in determining soil fertility, plant growth, and the overall health of agricultural ecosystems. The interaction of chemical elements and compounds in soil affects nutrient availability, pH levels, and the soil’s ability to support crops.

Plant Growth
Plant growth refers to the process by which plants increase in size and mass, developing roots, stems, leaves, and reproductive structures. This process is driven by a combination of biological, chemical, and environmental factors, including nutrient availability, water, light, temperature, and genetics. Understanding the mechanisms behind plant growth is essential for agriculture, horticulture, and ecosystem management.

Environmental
The environment encompasses all living and non-living things around us, including air, water, land, plants, animals, and human activities. Environmental science is the study of how these elements interact and how human activities impact natural ecosystems. Understanding the environment is crucial for ensuring sustainable development, protecting ecosystems, and addressing global challenges such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion.
