Best Answer

Natural enemies and repellents as well as pro-active cultivational and mechanical practices can be used to rid insects in ways that do not involve using insecticides on farmland.

Specifically, ladybugs are natural enemies of aphids. Garlic discourages insects because of intense odors. Monitoring of soil fertility, moisture, pH and temperature levels impedes environmental stress. Row covers may prevent an insect's access to a plant's above-ground parts.
