Question

why dont all farmers use a large amount of pesticides each week now as compared to the past? they save money on pesticides and rely on integrated pest management (ipm) now. they are much less educated about how pesticides work so they are fearful of them. they don’t worry about making a profit anymore due to the high cost of food. they are only worried about soil erosion these days as most pests are extinct.

Explanation:

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a widely - adopted approach that helps farmers manage pests while reducing pesticide use and saving costs. The other options are not valid reasons. Farmers are generally well - educated about agricultural practices, they do care about profit, and pests are not extinct. Also, soil erosion is not related to the reduction in pesticide use.

Answer:

They save money on pesticides and rely on integrated pest management (IPM) now.
