These substances, when improperly disposed of or metabolised and excreted, can contribute to water and Soil pollution, posing risks to ecosystems and Public health.

A pilot field program is a collection of pilot projects whose objectives are to provide the scientific information required prior to a decision to implement a monitoring design for a

A pilot project is a research project that requires field work to meet a stated research project quality objective, and the objective is not to provide preliminary estimates of resource condition.

Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs), in the environmental context, refer to naturally occurring or synthetically produced compounds that influence the growth and development of plants. These substances can mimic plant hormones or interfere with their natural Balance, thereby affecting processes such as germination, flowering, fruiting, and aging. While PGRs are widely used in agriculture and horticulture to improve crop yields and quality, their impact on the environment and non-target plant species is a subject of ongoing research and discussion.
