Precise pest management employs methods focusing on specific pest species and minimizing impact on non-target organisms and the environment. For example, using pheromone traps to attract and capture a particular insect pest demonstrates this approach.
This targeted strategy offers significant advantages, including reduced pesticide use, minimized environmental impact, and enhanced effectiveness. Historically, pest control often relied on broad-spectrum treatments that affected a wide range of species. The shift towards more precise methods reflects a growing understanding of ecological balance and the importance of sustainable practices.
