Chemical pesticides increase net primary production by killing pests and weeds, reducing biomass loss and competition for resources.
Pesticidele chimice ajută la creșterea producției primare nete prin uciderea dăunătorilor și a buruienilor, reducând pierderile de biomasă și competiția pentru resurse.
| Front | Farmers using chemical pesticides |
|---|---|
| Back | Insecticides kill pests that eat and damage the crops, removing the pests means less biomass is lost from crops so they grow larger hence Net primary production is larger Herbicides kill weeds and removes the direct competition with the crop for light energy from the sun |
