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.
