Ladybird weevils are beneficial insects that feed on aphids and other pests, helping to control their populations.

Praying mantises are beneficial insects that prey on caterpillars and other pests, helping to control their populations.

Chemical control methods involve the use of synthetic chemicals to kill pests, while neem oil is a natural pesticide derived from the neem tree.

IPM involves using a combination of cultural, biological, and chemical control methods, with an emphasis on non-chemical methods. Relying solely on chemical control methods can lead to pest resistance and other negative consequences.

IPM strategies aim to reduce pest populations while minimizing the development of pest resistance to pesticides.

IPM strategies aim to manage pest populations at acceptable levels, not necessarily eliminate them completely. Reducing pesticide use can help prevent pest resistance and promote beneficial insect populations.
