Module 4

Control Methods for Insect Pests

This module explores the various control methods used to manage insect pests in agriculture. These methods are divided into four categories: cultural, physical, biological, and chemical control. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) encourages the use of a combination of these techniques to minimize the impact of pests while preserving crop health, biodiversity, and environmental quality. By the end of this module, learners will have a deeper understanding of how each control method works and how to implement them effectively within an agricultural context.
