Agricultural chemistry focuses on chemical compositions andchanges involved in the production, protection, and use ofcrops and livestock. It seeks to control and understand theprocesses by which humans obtain food and fiber for themselvesand feed for their animals. Agricultural chemists workwith food producers to increase yields, improve quality, andreduce costs. They also study the causes and effects of biochemicalreactions related to plant and animal growth, seekways to control these reactions, and develop chemical productsthat provide help in controlling these reactions. Chemicalproducts developed to assist in the production of food, feed,and fiber include herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, plantgrowth regulators, fertilizers, and animal feed supplements.
