Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Planting several crops in the same area reduces the chances of a pest outbreak because it disrupts the availability of a single dominant crop that pests could feed on. This strategy is a form of crop diversity that is used in integrated pest management. Targeted use of chemical pesticides and monoculture farming are not effective IPM strategies as they can contribute to pest outbreak and environmental degradation. Mechanical pest control can be part of an IPM strategy, but it is not as effective as crop diversity.
