Answer 1

The "control" step of intergrated pest management involves the use of pesticides to control pests and their damage​.

Explanation:

IPM have four steps, which is a sequence of pest control method. When the thresholds for surveillance, detection and intervention suggest the need for pest control and prevention measures are no longer efficient or usable, then IPM (intergrated pest management) initiatives determine the appropriate management system for both efficacy and risk.

Efficient, less dangerous pest controls, involving highly concentrated chemicals like pheromones to hinder pest mating or mechanical control like trapping or weeding, are selected first. If more analysis, detection and intervention thresholds suggest that less dangerous controls do not operate, then alternative pest control approaches, like targeted pesticide spraying, will be implemented.
