Agricultural Pest Management refers to the strategies and practices used to control pests that threaten crops and livestock. This includes insects, weeds, fungi, and other organisms that can cause damage. Effective pest management aims to minimize the impact of these pests while promoting sustainable farming practices. Techniques may involve biological control, chemical pesticides, and cultural practices like crop rotation. Farmers often use Integrated Pest Management IPM, which combines different methods to manage pest populations. This approach helps reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, protecting the environment and human health. By monitoring pest levels and applying targeted interventions, farmers can maintain healthy crops and improve yields.
