Entomology is the study of insects and their relationship to agriculture. Insects are a major component of agricultural production, as they can be both beneficial and detrimental to crops. Beneficial insects, such as pollinators, help to increase crop yields, while pests can cause significant damage to crops. Entomologists study the behavior of insects and develop strategies to manage them in agricultural systems. This includes the use of biological control agents, such as natural predators, as well as chemical control agents, such as insecticides. Entomology is an important field of study for the agricultural industry, as it helps to ensure the production of healthy and safe food. Entomologists also work to reduce the environmental impact of insect control methods, such as reducing the use of chemical insecticides. Some companies in the entomology market include Bayer Crop Science, Syngenta, BASF, and Corteva Agriscience. These companies provide a range of products and services related to insect control, including insecticides, biological control agents, and pest monitoring systems. Show Less Read more
