Pesticides are used to control pests that can damage crops, spread disease, or harm humans or animals. Factors such as increased monoculture farming, globalization, and pest resistance contribute to the use of pesticides in agriculture.
Malaria is an illness that is commonly spread by mosquitos of the genus Anopheles. It is a very serious illness, and kills approximately one million people a year. There is no known vaccine, and drugs to prevent Malaria are too expensive for most people living in countries where the disease is common. One of the best ways to control Malaria is to kill the mosquitos that carry the disease. Pesticides are commonly used for this. Sadly, one of the best pesticides to kill mosquitos, DDT, is also extremely bad for the environment.
A natural resistance to disease is an??
They are unrelated.
Environmental resistance refers to the factors in an environment that limit the growth of a population. These factors can include competition for resources, predation, disease, and adverse weather conditions. Understanding environmental resistance is important in studying population dynamics and ecology.

To increase crop yield, reduce disease likelihood and infestation of businesses and to control populations. For example man is the rat's primary predator. if we did nothing to control them, in many places they would take over.
integrated disease managementEffective control of a particular disastrous disease, or all the common diseases of a plant can be achieved by using all relevant, appropriate methods of disease control. Such an approach of disease control is called ''integrated disease management.
The medical term for disease resistance is immunity.
hmmm. Sort of. Pesticides are used to allow plants to survive the onslaught of insects that would otherwise kill the plant of leave it to weak to bear reasonable fruit. Pesticides are also used to kill insects that carry disease. When DDT was made illegal, for example, malria cases increased because we could not control insects as well.
It is not possible for humans to get vine's disease. This type of disease is only seen amongst grape vines and can be remedied through the use of pesticides if desired.
