pest management
There is no one best way to deal with pests in
agriculture. Pesticides are commonly used, but this may cause many problems.
First, the chemicals in pesticides may build up as
residues in the environment. This reduces the quality of farm’s products. As well,
pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means what newer and
stronger ones have to be developed. Some pesticides also affect non target
animals such as fish and bees. This affects natural balance.
Two wipe out agricultural pests completely may be
very expensive. Sometimes, pest damage costs less than the method of control.

help a lot in a pest control. Natural enemies can be used to control pests. In other
words, it can be said that an integrated pest management is safer and more
effective to be used as a solution to deal
