There are multiple methods for pest control in organic farming.
To begin with, let’s talk about BioControl. Biocontrol is a method of controlling pests that affects plants, by using other organisms. Examples include using decapitating flies against red fire ants, and flea beetles against alligator weeds.
Crop Rotation is one of the most common and widely used measures for pest control. This refers to planting fields with different crops in different seasons. This reduces pest problems and the probability of developing resistant pests and weeds.
Similar to this is Intercropping. It is the practice of growing two or more crops together in the same place simultaneously. This can make it more difficult for pests to find their host plants. Since many pests find their targets by smell, the addition of crops in the field can disguise the scent. Example – Intercropping Canola with Barley reduces flea beetle.
Lastly, Trap Strips are plant stands that are grown to attract insects or other organisms like nematodes to protect target crops from pest attacks. It lures insects into a specific area, distancing them from the target crops. This is best suited for grasshoppers, where damage is usually initiated from the edge of a field.

There are four major phases of disaster management: The measures of disaster management include mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. In a like manner, all of the phases are useful in managing the risks and conserving lives and in the disaster recovery process.
1. Mitigation: This one has steps that focus on risk reduction by enhanced structure including infrastructure, act and zoning laws and protection to the environment which may involve creating barriers against floods or placing buildings in cas.
2. Preparedness: This belongs to the preparedness SA measures which entail the establishment of early warning system, first responders training, practice of mock drills and formulation of evacuation plans. Community and responder awareness and readiness is provided by preparedness, in order to minimize the number of fatalities and reduce confusion.
3. Response: This include action the moment and just after the disaster; may this be search and rescue, medical help, shelter and food among others. The first result will be the avoidance of the minimum of losses and the stabilization of the given situation.
This will entail reconstruction of the structures that were destroyed; reconciliations, reconstruction, and reconstruction of the sources of income; rehabilitation of the mental and psychological. Stability will happen in the communities also it will pass lessons learned to build capacities against future vulnerabilities; recovery will happen.
Some of the problems that affect coordination in disaster management are; These problems are due to complexities, limitation of resources and uncertainty. The challenges can be addressed through the improvement of infrastructure, enhanced early warning system, education, implementation of land use regulation and required cooperation. Affirmatively managed disasters that integrate all these strategies correspondingly enhance community resilience, mitigate emerging consequences, advance quicker and more secure recovery.
