V.ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION

A. Why there is need to study crop protection?

Crop protection is the science and practice of managing pests, plant diseases, and other pest
organisms that cause crop damage. Pesticides assist farmers in reducing crop damage from pests while
increasing food production. They are critical because they improve the quality and yield of agricultural
products.

B. How pest management was developed?

Pest management is a collection of pest management evaluations, decisions, and

controls rather than a single pest control method. Growers who are aware of the possibility of
pest infestation use a four-tiered approach when practicing IPM. Set action thresholds, monitor
and identify pests, prevent and control are the four steps.
