Question on: JSS1 Agricultural science - Methods of Pest and Disease Control in Agriculture

Chemical control methods involve the use of chemical pesticides to control pest and disease populations. Types of chemical pesticides include:

  - Insecticides: Targeting insect pests.

  - Fungicides: Controlling fungal diseases.

  - Herbicides: Managing weed populations.

   Considerations for sustainable pesticide use include:

  - Selective Application: Targeting specific pests while minimising impact on non-target organisms.

  - Dosage Control: Applying the right amount of pesticide to achieve effective control without excessive use.

  - Alternative Options: Integrating chemical control with other methods in an IPM approach to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.
