Question

Which technique would make agricultural practices more sustainable?
A) monoculture
B) salinization
C) integrated pest management
D) irrigation

Accepted Answer

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable farming technique that uses natural methods of pest control instead of relying on harmful chemicals. IPM involves monitoring crops for pests and disease, and then implementing a combination of preventive measures, physical barriers, and biological or chemical controls as needed. This technique reduces harmful impacts to the environment, improves soil quality, and promotes biodiversity.
