Integrated pest management

a method of pest control that relies on a range of strategies to control plant pests.

a natural occurring substance that can be in the form of a crystalline solid, ore, element, or compound.

consisting of only one primary agricultural crop (or organism).

the catching of so many fishing at one time or at such a rate that the targeted population can not replace its losses fast enough to maintain the population.

any extensive area of land usually growing scrub or sporadic grasses which is grazed bu native or introduced animals.
