Editing Pesticide application intensity (section)

== Boundary Conditions ==
Boundary inclusions for pesticide application intensity encompass all synthetic chemical pesticides applied to crops, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other agrochemicals intended for pest control. The signal includes applications across all crop types and farming systems where synthetic pesticides are used. Boundary exclusions consist of non-synthetic pest management practices such as biological control agents, mechanical weed control, and organic-approved substances. Additionally, pesticide residues present in the environment resulting from past applications are not included unless directly linked to current application rates. The signal does not cover pesticide use outside agricultural contexts, such as urban pest control or forestry applications.
