English term or phrase: bugs
However, *bugs* are always going to be a factor in growing plants but many growers no longer wish to use artificial chemical pesticides.

In campo scientifico qual'è la traduzione esatta per *bug*?
Cimici?

cimici e afidi
Explanation:
There is not an exact translation for this term in Spanish (also in Italian I think). It refers to insects of the family of "Hemiptera" (same in Italian).

Some examples in this context (plant pest):

Green Bug = afide
Beet Bug = cimicetta della barbabietola
Cereal Bug = cimice di cereali
Potato Bug = cimicetta verda

Also look this italian page:
Petz.it -Insetti, farfalle e rane
... del subordine Heteroptera e Homoptera dell'ordine Hemiptera che include varie speci,
anche le cosiddette cimici acquatiche, le cicale, gli afidi ed altre. ...

My option is "cimici e afidi"

In this english page you will find a brief explanation about the actual identity of bugs (from a biological point of view):

And sorry, Hemiptera is an order not a family (I must refresh my memory).

neutral Urico: "Parasites" is a vague term in this context, there are bacteria and many kinds of microscopic worms which are plant parasites, but definitely they are not bugs.
