Защита растений

Herbicide selectivity

The ability of a herbicide to kill weeds without causing significant harm to the crop.

Защита растений

Hidden pests

These are pests that live and feed inside plant tissues, making them protected from direct contact with conventional insecticides.

I

Защита растений

Insecticidal activity

The ability of chemical or biological agents to cause mortality or inhibit the development of insect pests in crops.

Защита растений

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

An ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests through a combination of biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools.

L

Защита растений

Latent infection

A state where a plant pathogen is present within plant tissues without causing any visible symptoms or damage.

Защита растений

Latent infection

A plant health state where a pathogen or pest is present in the tissues, but no visible symptoms of disease have yet appeared.
