Farmers used various methods to kill insects that threatened their plants, including chemical pesticides, biological control agents like ladybugs or parasitic wasps, and mechanical methods like hand-picking or trapping insects. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combines these approaches to minimize the use of chemicals and maintain a balance between pests and their natural predators.
Crop plants are more susceptible to insects
Yes, many insects feed on plants as part of their diet. Some insects, like caterpillars and grasshoppers, are herbivores and primarily eat plants for sustenance. However, not all insects consume plants; some are carnivorous and feed on other insects or animals.
Yes, wind can help plants reproduce by carrying pollen from one plant to another, aiding in pollination. Insects and animals can also play a role in pollination by transferring pollen as they move between plants. This process is crucial for plants to produce seeds and fruits for reproduction.
Yes, some animals such as insects and birds can help pollinate pitcher plants by transferring pollen between male and female flowers. This process is essential for the plants to produce seeds and reproduce.
Pitcher plants eat insects as a source of nutrients, particularly nitrogen. These plants typically grow in nutrient-poor soil, so they have evolved to supplement their diet by trapping and digesting insects in their pitcher-shaped leaves. This adaptation allows them to thrive in environments where other plants struggle to survive.

Insecticides are pesticides that that are used by farmers to control plants and animals and also used to destroy insects.
They deliver pollen from the stamens of plants to the ovaries of other plants
Sexual reproduction occurs in plants by the process of pollination. Insects come and collect pollen from the plants that then travel to other plants pollinating them.
Ladybug Beetles are carnivores. They are often used by farmers to eat harmful insects that are infesting a crop.
Lots and lots of hand labor to pull weeds, pick off insects, and clean the plants of disease.
insects eat plants
Bees are not only important to farmers there important to us, bees are responsible for one in every three bites of food we eat and if they disappear (which they're doing right now) crops would suffer, farmers would suffer and we would suffer.In a word, pollination.

By enzymatic process, they "digest" the body of the insect as nourishment.

There is no war between plants and insects. They live together.
