Answer 1

Answer:

B. Use of biocontrol measures will increase our dependence on chemical fertilizers

• In biological farming, farmers understand the webs of interaction between the myriad of organisms that constitute the field flora and fauna.

• They also become familiar with the life cycles, feeding habits, pests and predators of various life forms that inhabit the field.

• Thus, the use of biocontrol measures greatly reduces our dependence on chemical fertilizers.
