Question

Give two examples of how organic farmers control pests.

Answer 1

Two examples of how organic farmers control pests are as follows:

1. They use biocontrol measures by encouraging beneficial predatory and parasitic insects such as ladybirds and dragonflies to keep pest populations like aphids and mosquitoes at manageable levels.
2. They create a balanced ecosystem where pests are not eradicated but controlled through the natural checks and balances among organisms, avoiding the use of chemical pesticides.
