What is the systematic approach to insect and disease management that incorporates various control tactics?

Organic farming
Resistant plant selection
Biomanipulation
Integrated Pest Management

The correct answer is: Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a systematic approach to managing insects and diseases that involves using a combination of different control tactics. These tactics can include physical, biological, cultural, and chemical methods. Option A, organic farming, is a method that does not use synthetic chemicals, but IPM does not exclusively rely on organic practices. Option B, resistant plant selection, involves choosing plant varieties that are resistant to certain pests or diseases, but it is not a comprehensive management approach like IPM. Biomanipulation refers to manipulating the ecosystem to control pests, while IPM focuses on multiple tactics to manage pests. Therefore, the best option is D, Integrated Pest Management, as it encompasses a range of strategies to effectively manage pests and diseases.
