What is the main goal of cultural control in pest management?

  1. Reduction of pest establishment

  2. Direct killing of pests

  3. Enhancement of pest survival

  4. Encouragement of pest dispersal

The correct answer is: Reduction of pest establishment

Cultural control in pest management focuses on reducing pest establishment, through the use of cultural practices such as crop rotation and sanitation. Option B is incorrect as direct killing of pests falls under the category of mechanical or physical control. Option C is incorrect as it would have the opposite effect and actually increase the number of pests. Option D is also incorrect as it would lead to pest spread, which goes against the main goal of cultural control.
