The use of minimal pesticides and herbicides is important for several reasons:

Environmental protection: Pesticides and herbicides can have adverse effects on the environment, such as polluting water bodies and harming non-target organisms. Minimal use of these chemicals reduces the impact on the environment.

Human health: Exposure to pesticides and herbicides can have negative health effects on humans, such as increasing the risk of cancer and reproductive problems. Minimal use of these chemicals reduces the risk of exposure and potential harm.

Cost-effectiveness: Minimal use of pesticides and herbicides can be cost-effective for farmers and other agricultural producers. Excessive use of these chemicals can lead to increased costs and reduced profitability in the long run.

Resistance management: Overuse of pesticides and herbicides can lead to the development of resistance in pests and weeds, making them harder to control. Minimal use of these chemicals can help manage resistance and prolong the effectiveness of the chemicals.
