Companion plants, crop rotation, herbicides, insecticides, natural enemies, plowing and tilling, resistant varieties, row covers, and soil drenches are ways that farmers control the growth of insect pests. Insect pests can shelter in weeds, whose presence can be eliminated by pre-emergent, target-specific herbicides that eliminate undesirable vegetation before they can take over resources and space and by soil drenches that eliminate ground-dwelling, surface-sheltering insect pests. Companion planting, crop rotation, natural enemies, resistant varieties, and row covers number among the more natural, non-synthetic, organic ways to control the growth and return of insect pests.
