Assessment of Pest Management Techniques in Small-Scale Farming: A Comprehensive Analysis of Sustainable Approaches
Abstract
Small-scale farming operations face significant challenges in managing pest populations while maintaining economic viability and environmental sustainability. This research article examines various pest management techniques employed by small-scale farmers, evaluating their effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and environmental impact. The study analyzes integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, biological control methods, organic approaches, and selective chemical interventions. Findings indicate that a combination of preventive measures, biological controls, and targeted interventions provides the most sustainable and economically viable approach for small-scale agricultural operations.
