Involves using synthetic or natural substances to kill or manage pest populations. Examples include insecticides, herbicides, and rodenticides.

Uses environmental modifications to destroy or prevent pests. Examples include using heat to sterilize soil or cold to kill off pests in stored products.

Relies on plant-based compounds to manage pests. Examples include neem oil for controlling aphids and pyrethrins derived from chrysanthemum flowers to kill various insects.

Involves altering the genetic makeup of plants to resist pests or decrease the fertility of pests. Examples include genetically modified crops (GMOs) and sterile insect techniques.

Combines multiple pest control methods for long-term pest management. IPM focuses on economically and environmentally sustainable solutions.

Incorporates various agricultural practices like crop rotation, sanitation, and habitat manipulation to reduce pest habitat and food sources. Examples include changing planting times and using trap crops.

Employs chemical signals to disrupt pest mating behaviors or attract pests to traps. Examples include using pheromone traps for moths and beetles.

Entails the use of physical means to remove or block pests from plants. Examples include handpicking pests, using traps, and building barriers like fences or nets.

Utilizes living organisms, such as predators, parasites, or pathogens, to control pest populations. Examples are lady beetles to control aphids, and Bacillus thuringiensis for caterpillar control.

Utilizes electrically charged grids or surfaces to kill flying pests, such as flies and mosquitoes. Examples include electric fly zappers or bug zappers.

Employs genetic engineering and molecular biology techniques to develop pest-resistant plant varieties or create biological control agents. Examples include Bt corn and RNA interference strategies.
