Question

Why should preventive measures and biological control methods be preferred for protecting crops?

Answer

Preventive measures and biological control methods should be preferred because:

  1. Safety: Excessive use of chemicals (pesticides and weedicides) is toxic and hazardous to plants, animals, and humans.

  2. Environmental Protection: Chemical methods cause environmental pollution and contaminate the soil and groundwater.

  3. Ecological Balance: Biological methods are eco-friendly and do not harm beneficial soil organisms or destroy soil fertility.
