Question

The action threshold is determined at which stage of the integrated pests management?

• A. Monitoring
• B. Mechanical methods
• C. Acceptable pests level
• D. Regulatory methods

Answer 1

The correct option is C Acceptable pests level

The integrated pests management programme focuses on the removal of the pests and increasing the yield of the plants. There are six principles and steps which are followed. The first step is the acceptable pests level which determines the action threshold. This is the level which helps to determine the number of pests to be treated and the mechanisms which can be used for it.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
