A chemical or biological agent used to prevent, kill, or control pests that can harm cannabis plants. Pesticides target organisms such as insects, mites, fungi, bacteria, and weeds that may cause damage to cannabis crops, affecting growth, yield, and quality. In cannabis cultivation, the use of pesticides is strictly regulated to ensure consumer safety, as residues left on the plant could be harmful if inhaled or ingested.
