Statement 1: False There are methods of controlling pests in agriculture that rely on natural predation rather than introduced chemicals. These methods include biological control, where natural predators, parasites, or pathogens are used to regulate pest populations. Statement 2: True Organic farmers often believe that eradicating pests entirely is not only impossible but also undesirable.
