उत्तर
The advantages of IPM are listed as follows:
- Slower development of resistance to pesticides: Pests typically become resistant to insecticides over time. The pests' genes will be passed on to their offspring if they survive the chemical application. 'Super-pests' are the result of this. IPM lowers the likelihood and hazards of these situations.
- Maintaining a balanced ecosystem: Using pesticides could eliminate non-targeted organisms and the pest population. Excessive use of pesticides typically causes beneficial bacteria in the soil to disappear. IPM keeps the natural world in balance.
- Reduced risk to farm workers: Overexposure to the hazardous chemicals in pesticides causes various health concerns for farmers and their families, including skin infections and respiratory disorders. IPM lowers the dangers to farmers' and their families' health.
