Which type of pests will cause major problems if not successfully managed?

1. Key Pests

2. Secondary Pests

3. Occasional Pests

4. Genetic Pests

The correct answer is: Key Pests

Key Pests are the type of pests that will cause major problems if not successfully managed. This is because they are the primary pests that can heavily damage crops, transmit diseases, and cause significant economic loss. Secondary Pests, on the other hand, are pests that can become problematic if left uncontrolled, but they are not as destructive as Key Pests. Occasional Pests are pests that are only a threat in certain situations or environments and can be easily controlled. Genetic Pests, also known as genetically modified pests, are not currently a major issue as regulations and precautions are taken to prevent their negative impact. Therefore, they are not as concerning as Key Pests, which have a more widespread and immediate impact if not managed properly.
