Integrated Pest Management

            There is no one way to deal pests in agricultural. Pesticides are commonly used, but this may cause many problems.

            First, the chemicals in pesticides may build up residues in the environment. These reduce the quality of farm’s products. As well, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed. Some pesticides also affect non target animal such as fish and bees.

            To wipe out agricultural pests completely may be very expensive. Sometimes pest damage costs less than method of control.

            Finally, understanding the ecology of the area will help in a pest control. Natural enemies can be used to control pests. In other word, it can be said that an integrated pest management (i.e. an ecological approach that can significantly reduce or eliminate that use of pesticides) is safer and more effective to be used as a solution to deal with pests in agriculture.
