Integred Pest ManagementThere is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides wich are commonly used
may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most
effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in
the soil wich absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock
