What is the key benefit of practicing IPM in pest management?

  1. Increased use of pesticides

  2. Saving money

  3. Reduced public image

  4. Promotion of rapid pest growth

The correct answer is: Saving money

The key benefit of practicing IPM, or integrated pest management, is saving money. This is because IPM uses a variety of non-chemical methods to control pests, such as crop rotation, habitat modification, and mechanical controls, in addition to carefully targeted pesticide use. This reduces the overall reliance on expensive pesticides and can lead to cost savings in the long run. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the goal of IPM, which is to minimize the use of pesticides and promote sustainable pest management practices. Increased use of pesticides and promotion of rapid pest growth go against this goal, while reduced public image is not a significant benefit in comparison to the cost savings benefit.
