ecological contro;
biological
physiological
chemical
flame control
mechanical control
–this is the application and
management of pests by manipulating the environment
or implementing preventive practices such as using
plants that are resistant to pests, proper timing of
planting and crop rotation.
Cultural control
this involves the changing of the
crop and the pests’ environment that favors the survival of
the crop such as flooding to kill insects and weeds.
Ecological control
this is the introduction of
certain insects which feed on pests, application
of chemosterilants to render the male sterile, or
planting of certain plants whose odor drive pests
away.
Biological control
this is the breeding and
planting of pest resistant varieties.
Physiological control
it involves the application of
chemicals to control weeds, pests and diseases.
Chemical control
the use of flame for the selective
burning of weeds in crops whose stem is not
injured by a short exposure to intense heat.
Flame control
the use of tools, implements and
machines to reduce or eliminate weeds and insects
such as in land preparation, cultivation and weeding.
