An agrochemical or agrichemical, a contraction of agricultural chemical, is a chemical product used in agriculture. In most cases, agrichemical refers to pesticides including insecticides, herbicides and nematicides, it may include synthetic fertilizers and other chemical growth agents, concentrated stores of raw animal manure. Many agrochemicals are toxic, agrichemicals in bulk storage may pose significant environmental and/or health risks in the event of accidental spills. In many countries, use of agrichemicals is regulated. Government-issued permits for purchase and use of approved agrichemicals may be required. Significant penalties can result including improper storage resulting in spillage. On farms, proper storage facilities and labeling, emergency clean-up equipment and procedures, safety equipment and procedures for handling and disposal are subject to mandatory standards and regulations; the regulations are carried out through the registration process. For instance, bovine somatotropin, though used in the United States, is not approved in Canada and some other jurisdictions as there are concerns for the health of cows using it.

Agrochemicals were introduced to enhance crop yields. The most common agrochemicals include fertilizers. Due to the adaptation of pests to these chemicals and new agrochemicals were being used, causing side effects in the environment. However, agrochemicals are not inefficient. According to the article, Pesticides, Food Security and Food Safety, written by Fernando P. Carvalho, chemical fertilizers in the 1960s were responsible for the beginning of the "Green Revolution", where using the same surface of land using intensive irrigation and mineral fertilizers such as nitrogen and potassium has increased food production. Throughout the 1970s through 1980s, pesticide research continued into producing more selective agrochemicals. Sumerians from 4500 years ago have said to use insecticides in the form of sulfur compounds. Additionally, the Chinese from about 3200 years ago used mercury and arsenic compounds to control body lice. Syngenta was the worldwide leader in agrochemical sales in 2013 at ~$10.9 billion, followed by Bayer CropScience, BASF, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont with ~$3.6 billion.

The Burns Monument in Kay Park, Scotland, commemorates the poet Robert Burns. It is located at an elevated position to the east of Kilmarnock Town Centre; the monument was opened in 1879, is a category B listed building. In 2004 a fire destroyed part of the monument; the building was restored and extended as a genealogy centre, reopening as the Burns Monument Centre in 2009. Kilmarnock has many links with Burns. Of this first edition only 612 copies were printed, copies of this rare book are now known as Kilmarnock Editions. On Burns Night 1877, a movement to erect a memorial in Kilmarnock was begun. Subscriptions came in so that the organisers decided to investigate the possibility of a memorial building as well as a marble statue. In October, a design by local architect Robert S Ingram was accepted by the committee, he began the preparation of drawings. In December, a design competition for the statue attracted 21 entries, William Grant Stevenson of Edinburgh was judged the winner; the foundation stone was laid on 14 September 1878, by R. W. Cochran-Patrick of Woodside, Depute Provincial Grand Master for Ayrshire.

In August 1879, the 40 acres Kay Park was opened, with the completed Burns Monument as its focus. The statue was unveiled by Colonel Charles Alexander of Ballochmyle MP on 9 August; the monument cost with another £ 800 spent on the statue. The design of the monument has been described as "an eclectic fusion of Scots Baronial, neo-Gothic and Italianate, with a dash of Baroque and a hint of Romanesque." The original building comprised a two-storey T-plan museum, topped by an 80 feet high octagonal tower and spire, with the life-size white marble statue of Burns by Stevenson in a porch at the front. The tower offered wide views across Kilmarnock. Ingram, a prolific local architect, considered the monument to be his finest work; the monument was badly damaged by fire in November 2004. The two storey museum section, at the rear, the semi-octagonal two-storey tower collapsed, leaving only the front stairs, part of the ground floor outer walls and two of the main internal walls. Planning permission was granted in September 2006 for the partial re-instatement of the Burns Monument, with an extension to provide a marriage suite, registration service and archive service.

The extension, designed by East Ayrshire Council architects, envelopes the remaining staircase and portico, which houses the statue of Robert Burns, provides a courtyard setting with the statue of Burns and the remaining section of the original monument as a focal point to the northern elevation of the courtyard. The £5m Burns Monument Centre was opened in May 2009 by First Minister Alex Salmond, as Scotland's first purpose-built genealogy centre. In July 2010, it was announced that the rebuilt Centre was one of six buildings nominated for the annual Carbuncle Cup, given to the "ugliest building in the UK completed in the last 12 months." The Carbuncle Cup is given based on nominations from the public. The nominator of the Burns Monument Centre described it as a "forced, clumpy monstrosity with pointlessly random rooves".
