Question: 1 / 605

Which type of control specifically aims to prevent pests from reaching damaging levels with minimal environmental risk?

Genetic Control

Regulatory Control

IPM

IPM (Integrated Pest Management) is a specific type of control that aims to prevent pests from reaching damaging levels while also considering the impact on the environment. It combines various methods such as cultural control, genetic control, and regulatory control to effectively manage pests. Although cultural control (D), which involves changing environmental conditions to make them less favorable for pests, and regulatory control (B), which involves using laws and regulations to control pests, may also help prevent pest damage, they do not prioritize the minimization of environmental risk like IPM does. Genetic control (A), which involves manipulating an organism's genetics to control pests, may also have negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, the most suitable option for the given scenario is IPM.
