What reason might a farmer have for using biological control instead of chemical pesticides?
A farmer might choose biological control over chemical pesticides to minimize negative impacts on the environment and human health, reduce chemical residues on produce, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Biological control methods also have the potential for long-term pest management and are often more target-specific.
What are some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides?
Some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides include introducing natural predators or parasites to control pest populations, using insecticidal soaps or oils derived from plants, and planting trap crops to attract pests away from main crops. Crop rotation and intercropping with pest-repellent plants can also help reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
Should chemical pesticides be banned?
Chemical pesticides harm the ecosystem, the environment, and could be harmful to humans; however, without them, we would not be able to produce enough food for the current population. The best alternative is to put more energy into finding natural pesticides (such as garlic oil) which don't harm the environment, but keep insects from ruining the crops, and to make those natural pesticides available before banning chemical pesticides.
What is bio pesticides?
Bio Pesticides EPA definition: Biopesticides include naturally occurring substances that control pests (biochemical pesticides), microorganisms that control pests (microbial pesticides), and pesticidal substances produced by plants containing added genetic material (plant-incorporated protectants) or PIPs. Basically a Bio Pesticide is anything designed to kill pests that is made out of microorganisms or derived from microoganisms.
How does biological control and genetic modification be used instead of pesticides and herbicides to control pests that destroy crops?
Biological control involves using natural enemies of pests, such as predators or pathogens, to keep pest populations in check. Genetic modification can be used to engineer crops that are resistant to pests, reducing the need for chemical control methods. These approaches can be more environmentally friendly and sustainable than using pesticides and herbicides.
What can control an invasive species?
pesticides or any other chemical

Type of farming that doesn't use pesticides?
* Organic agriculture actually organic farming does use pesticides, what you're looking for is "biological control" which means it allows the use of synthetic fertilizers but trades chemical pest control with biological pest control. in biological control one applies parasitic wasps, entomophagic fungie and other such agents in much the same way one would apply chemical pesticides.
What is chemical control?
Chemical control is the use of chemical substances (such as pesticides or herbicides) to manage and control pests, diseases, or weeds in agricultural or urban settings. It is a common method of pest management but can have negative environmental impacts if not used properly.
What are some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides?
Some biological alternatives to chemical pesticides include introducing natural predators or parasites to control pest populations, using insecticidal soaps or oils derived from plants, and planting trap crops to attract pests away from main crops. Crop rotation and intercropping with pest-repellent plants can also help reduce the need for chemical pesticides.
What is a chemical used to prevent destroy or repel pests?
One common chemical used for pest control is pesticides, which are substances that kill or control pests like insects, rodents, or weeds. Pesticides can be synthetic (man-made) or natural (derived from plants or microorganisms) and are regulated to ensure they are used safely and effectively in controlling pests.
Should chemical pesticides be banned?

Is pest control product a pesticide?
Yes, most pest control products are considered pesticides. A pesticide is any substance used to prevent, destroy, repel, or control pests, including insects, rodents, fungi, and weeds. Pest control products like insect sprays, rodent baits, and ant traps fall under this category. They may be chemical, biological, or natural in origin. Pesticides are regulated to ensure safety for humans, pets, and the environment when used as directed. Always read and follow label instructions carefully. Not all pest control methods involve pesticides—some use physical traps or natural deterrents—but chemical products commonly used are classified as pesticides by regulatory authorities.

Why dont organic farmers use pesticides?
They do. They just use organic pesticides, natural compounds which help control or suppress a given pest.
