Answer 1

Crop protection is the overall method or practice of safeguarding crop yields from pests, weeds, plant diseases, and other organisms that harm crops.

Steps taken to protect crops from pests are:

Pest management:

1. Crop damage and production loss are primarily caused by insects and pests. They might destroy the entire crop and consume a big amount of grains.
2. If left untreated, they can diminish agricultural productivity by 30-50 per cent each year.
3. Integrating integrated pest and insect control is the greatest strategy to prevent crop damage. Insecticides and pesticides are used to reduce crop damage by controlling insects and other pests.
