StarStarStarStar

Mechanical Control

StarStarStarStar

Uses physical methods or devices to control pests, targeting rodents, birds, and insects, often as part of an integrated pest management plan.

StarStarStarStar

Chemical Control

StarStarStarStar

Uses synthetic pesticides to eliminate or control pest populations, typically targeting insects, weeds, and fungal pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Cultural Control

StarStarStarStar

Involves modifying farming practices to reduce pest establishment, reproduction, and survival, targeting a wide range of agricultural pests.

StarStarStarStar

Biological Control

StarStarStarStar

Employs natural enemies or predators to control pest populations, often targeting specific insects or invasive species without harming non-target species.

StarStarStarStar

Genetic Control

StarStarStarStar

Involves the manipulation of pest genetics to reduce their population, either through the release of genetically engineered pests or selective breeding of resistant plant varieties.

StarStarStarStar

Regulatory Control

StarStarStarStar

Includes quarantine measures and legislation to prevent the introduction and spread of exotic pests and diseases, applicable to a broad spectrum of potential agricultural threats.

StarStarStarStar

Conservation Control

StarStarStarStar

Aims to conserve and promote natural pest enemies through habitat manipulation and ecosystem management, targeting a broad range of agricultural pests without the introduction of non-native species.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

StarStarStarStar

Combines several control strategies in a coordinated approach to manage pest populations below damaging levels while minimizing the use of chemical pesticides.

StarStarStarStar

Physical Control

StarStarStarStar

Relies on environmental modifications to eliminate or suppress pests, such as temperature extremes or water management, often targeting weeds, insects, and rodents.

StarStarStarStar

Chemical-Mechanical Control

StarStarStarStar

Utilizes a combination of synthetic pesticides and mechanical devices to manage pest populations, particularly aimed at large infestations where one method alone is ineffective.
