"Agricultural chemistry" could conceivably include fertilizers, as does the term "agricultural chemical". "Pest control science" is not restricted to chemical methods. "Agropharmacy" would seem logical, yet appears not to be used. "Chemical pest control" and "chemical pest management", although lacking the pharmaceutical flavor of the French term, might therefore be proposed as English equivalents for "agropharmacie". 2, record 1, English, - control%20products%20study

As a basic science, it embraces, in addition to test-tube chemistry, all the life processes through which humans obtain food and fiber for themselves and feed for their animals. As an applied science or technology, it is directed toward control of those processes to increase yields, improve quality, and reduce costs. One important branch of it, chemurgy, is concerned chiefly with utilization of agricultural products as chemical raw materials. 4, record 2, English, - agricultural%20chemistry
