4 Integrated Approach

An integrated pest management (IPM) approach combines different strategies to manage pests effectively and sustainably. When choosing pest control products, consider how they fit into a broader IPM plan. This may include crop rotation, biological controls, and the use of resistant crop varieties. Products that complement these strategies will contribute to long-term pest control and reduce reliance on chemical interventions.

5 Cost-Benefit Analysis

While cost should not be the sole deciding factor, it is an important consideration in agribusiness. Perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine the long-term value of the pest control products you're considering. Cheaper options might save money upfront but could be less effective or require more frequent applications. Conversely, more expensive products might offer better protection and reduce overall costs by preventing crop losses.
