A

99%

29
Q

Non-pest insect are?

A

1.pollinator
2. decomposer
3. Natural enemies (predators and parasitoids)
4.producers of useful products
5. Specimens for scientific studies
6. Aesthetic value

30
Q

The following are the reason why insects become pest. Except ?
(1) change in cropping pattern which can result
in some plant species being eliminated while
new plants are being introduced;
(2) larger areas of land are being utilized for
planting which displaces other organisms in the
area and can result to these organisms moving
to another area; and
(3) change in human values and preferences.
(4)different parasitoid species
can attack different life
stages of host.

A

No. 4
