Q2 ~
A. Pual Buxman does not approve of the way some farmers just spray insecticide on pests whenever they see them. This is because this method affects and lowers the health standards, shown in Ground-Water tests. Apart from that, the way of just spraying insecticide on the pests produces more fruit losses.
B. This is the usage of natural predators to kill pests instead of pesticides, but it is more labour intensive.
C. With insecticides, the many of the pests are directly killed and therefore there would not be any secondary consumers like spiders, praying mantis, thus creating no food for birds, and birds will leave the area permanently. As for worms, the insecticide leaks into the soil and make it unsuitable for the worm to survive, thus it drives worms away.
D. Organic farming is the form of faming crops and plants that relies on methods, unlike non organic farming which uses certain pesticides, fertilizers or plant growth enhancers, such as crop rotation, green manure. It also biologically controls pests on a farm.
E. It is the balance between the number of pests and their predators such the predators and feed on the pests and not let them destroy the plants yet do not let them die out or the predators they themselves might also die out in that specific area.
F. Broad Spectrum Fertilizers are fertilizers that can fertilize a huge variety of plants or crops and contain a wide supply of micro-nutrients.
