    Preventive measures like proper seed bed preparation create favorable conditions for crop growth, enabling plants to withstand pest pressure better. Intercropping disrupts pest breeding cycles and reduces pest populations by providing less favorable habitats or alternative hosts. Together, these practices promote crop health and resilience, minimizing the need for chemical pesticides and contributing to overall sustainable pest management.
