Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer for: Which of the following best describes integrated pest management?  Is: B. The practice of using biological, cultural, environmental, and chemical means to control pests

Explanation:

To understand this answer we need to remember what IPM of integrating pest management is. IPM is the combination of biological, cultural, environmental and chemical means to minimize the local threat of pests in the crop or area of attention. First of all the objective is not to eradicate, exterminate or extinguish. But control them in other words, they will still be there but won't mean damage or danger to the crop or zone. Now, IPM seeks to do the least amount of damage to humans and the pests. So pesticides and fungicides are not welcomed in it. So, IPM is a whole strategy of changing the environment so that those pests won't mean an economical threat.
