There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which 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 which 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 as well. So, understanding of ecology of
an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so
that they don’t affect the ecological balance and environment. Therefore, integrated
pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and
livestock.
