Why do you think insects are able to destroy so many crops in Kenya than the US?
Insects in Kenya may cause more damage to crops than in the US due to factors such as different pest populations, climatic conditions that favor insect development, limited resources for pest control in Kenya, and agricultural practices that may make crops more vulnerable to insect damage.
Is there more animals than humans in Kenya?
Yes. Especially if one includes insects and other small creatures.
Why is pesticides good?
Pesticides can cause some problems if people consume too many of them, but they can also be a good thing. The use of pesticides has made a lot more food available for people by getting rid of many of the insects that used to destroy the crops.
Which country is more prone to drought Italy or Kenya?
I think Kenya is more prone to drought than Italy. The Kenya's weather is such that you can get a drought in Kenya.
What is the importance of research in research?
Agricultural research is critically important in that it is the only way to find out ways to combat new strains of fungi, bacteria, weeds, insects, and other pests that can destroy crops. It is also the only way to find new varieties of crops which we hope will yield better, be more disease resistant, and more drought-tolerant. Without agricultural research we have virtually no hope of feeding the expected nine billion people on the planet by 2050.
Why is the study of plant pathology?
A plant pathologist studies plant diseases and insect infestations on crops. Their work is relevant in understanding how and why various crops are attacked by insects and pests (fungi, bacteria and viruses) and how to minimise the economic effect (of attacks) on commercial crops by these pathogens. Pathology also encompasses the study of plant chemistry to ensure that crops (food as well ornamental) are well fertilised and are not deficient in nutrients. Poorly nourished crops are more susceptible to attack from insects, fungi and bacterial infections.

What will happen when adding herbicide in insecticide?
Mixing herbicide and insecticide can lead to harmful effects on non-target organisms, including beneficial insects, animals, and plants. It can also lead to environmental contamination and soil degradation. It is important to carefully follow label instructions and recommendations to avoid negative consequences.
What is a pesticide does it destroy crops?
A pesticide is or may be a chemical substance or biological agent used against pests including insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes and microbes that compete with humans for food, destroy property, spread diseases, and are a real nuisance. Pesticides were first created either during or before 500 B.C.. The first known pesticide was sulfur. By the 15th century toxic chemicals such as arsenic, mercury, and lead were used on crops to kill pests. By the 17th century nicotine sulfate was extracted from tobacco leaves to be used as insecticides (a form of pesticide). In the 19th century two more natural pesticides, pyrethrum which is derived from chrysanthemums, and rotenone which is derived from the roots of tropical vegetables. Pesticides have a very big effect on the environment. They pollute the air, lakes, rivers, and streams in the United States. And yes it can destroy crops.
Is Kenya bigger than the US?
No it is not, there is more square miles in the U.S. than Kenya.
