question 10
which of the following is an example of a sustainable agricultural practice?
patrick supplies local restaurants with a variety of lettuce that he has grown in his own agroecosystem.
jerome establishes a corn monoculture to increase his farms production.
noah applies a new fertilizer to fix nitrogen in the ground.
maura attracts birds, insects, and spiders, which are natural predators of crop pests.

Explanation:

Sustainable agriculture aims to minimize negative environmental impacts. Attracting natural predators like birds, insects, and spiders to control crop pests is an eco - friendly method. Monoculture can deplete soil nutrients and increase pest vulnerability. Using new fertilizers may have environmental drawbacks. Supplying local restaurants from an agroecosystem is good but not as directly related to sustainable pest - control as the predator - attraction method.

Answer:

Maura attracts birds, insects, and spiders, which are natural predators of crop pests.
