Good morning students and thanks for attending this seminar.

Now I am here to give a short speech about Integrated Pest Management
There is no one best way to deal with pests in agriculture.

environment. This reducer are quality of form’s products. As well, pests
can gradually become resistance to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones to be developed.
Some pesticides also affect non target animals such as fish and
bees. This affects natural balance. To wipe out agricultural pests
completely may be very expensive. Sometimes, pest damage costs less
than the method of control.
Finally, understanding the ecology of the area will help a lot in
pest control. Natural enemies can used to control pest. In other words, it
 can be said that an integrated pest management (i.e. an ecological
approach that can significantly reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides)

agriculture.
