Pest management is simply the process of controlling the spread and destruction of crops in the farms by the pests that highly hazardous and really affect our crops in our farms. This will then affect the economy of one’s life and also for the benefit of the government since most of the nations depend on the agricultural sector which is widely affected by these aspects and it is therefore important for such nations to invest more on pest control and management.
There are different types of pests that affects both animals, human beings and the crops. They have sticky mouths which when they land on the waters they carry them along with the germs and on the other side they land on the food that the person is taking and leave them there. These diseases include cholera and typhoid where both of them are infected by taking food or water that is contaminated by the wastes and contamination by the flies and poor sanitation.
Properties including the carpets and clothes can be destroyed by pests that are present in the homestead if they are not properly controlled and can lead to massive loss of those properties. Rats are the most commonly known pests since their effects are always seen by their destruction ability where they destroy clothes and even sacks of maize in stores.
Pests also destroys crops and animals and this widely affects food supply in a nation and to some extent the economy of a nation. Pests that destroys crops are well known to cause massive destruction of the crops in the farm making the farmer and the nation to be worried and lose hope on the final product of what they invested in. Army worms when they attack a farm they are more likely to spread so fast unless they are controlled earlier.
Army worms are always controlled by spraying pesticides on the affected plantation when they are just recognized so that they cannot spread to the whole farm and cause massive destruction. Pesticides applied on such pests are not effective though they don’t cause a bigger harm on the crops.
Modern methods of control are mostly harmful to the environment and also the health of human beings since the effects are always felt. Most pesticides are toxic to the human body for instance one inhales the pesticides while spraying on the pests and yet they are toxic to the human body. Such methods could be most effective but are also discouraged since it is more important to take good care of environment than any other thing.
People’s lives are more important than the activity that would have been done in a way that could not have an impact on the other people whom you didn’t intend to.
