What is the primary reason for utilizing integrated pest management?

Maximum environmental impact
High pesticide effectiveness
Prevention of pest survival
Prevention of pests reaching damaging levels

The correct answer is: Prevention of pests reaching damaging levels

By choosing option A, it suggests that the main focus is on minimizing environmental impact rather than effectively managing pests. Option B is also incorrect as it only highlights the effectiveness of pesticides rather than the overall management approach. While option C may play a role in reducing pest populations, the primary reason for utilizing integrated pest management is to prevent pests from reaching damaging levels. This approach allows for better long-term control of pests while minimizing harm to the environment and non-target organisms. Additionally, integrated pest management takes into account various factors such as pest biology, natural predators, and cultural practices to effectively manage pest populations.
