Question

Natural pest controlling methods are useful to biodiversity. Explain.

Answer 1

Natural pest controlling methods includes using organic oils, genetically modified organisms, various agricultural methods, etc. The methods such as intercropping, crop rotation, mixed cropping, etc encourage the growth of different plants on the same piece of land. This not only replenishes the soil but also improves the biodiversity of that area. Growing the same crop over a long time rips the soil off its nutrients. Hence natural methods also help in improving biodiversity.
