Physical Control Methods - JSS1 Agricultural science Lesson Note

Physical control methods involve using physical barriers or mechanisms to manage pests and diseases.

1. Mechanical Barriers: Using physical barriers, like nets or screens, to prevent pests from reaching crops.

2. Traps: Traps attract and capture pests, reducing their numbers in a specific area.

3. Cultural Practices: Practices such as ploughing, tilling, or pruning can physically disrupt the life cycles of pests and diseases.
