You really need to protect your crops from insects because, the crop will not grow healthy and well if the pests are always buzzing\flying around with the crops

AnswerInsect pests can destroy a crop in a very short period of time because of their ability to reproduce so prolifically and quickly. Aphids, for example, can increase their numbers a hundredfold within just 24 hours. Most insect pests (not beneficial insects) can damage the crop by eating it, sucking out all the plant juices, or even vectoring a disease. Most US farmers know that once the insect population reaches a given threshold (it varies by crop and by pest), they simply cannot afford to ignore it.
