Alternatives to pesticides Alternatives to pesticides are available, and are generally better and less harmful to both humans and the environment in the long run. One of the most common alternatives to pesticides is Organic farming. An Organic farming system uses natural pesticides for pest management without using synthetic pesticides. Another alternative to pesticides is Biological pest controls. These are other organisms that are used to control insects, diseases, or weeds. For example using the flea battle to control certain weeds. This type of pest control is being used more now in green house productions here in Canada. Other alternatives include: Mechanical pest control- Controlling weeds using mechanical tools to turn and mix soils. Cultivation practices that include-polyculture( growing multiple types of plants. Or crop rotation, planting crops in areas where the pests that damage them do not live. Intercropping- witch is growing more than one type of crop in a field at a time to help reduce the chance for pests such as weeds to invade. Using pest tolerant crops- using plants that are not easily affected by pests. And suing natural pesticides- Pesticides that are made by other organisms such as plants with insecticide properties ( for their own protection) Another alternative to pesticides is the thermal treatment of soil through stream. Soil steaming kills pests and increases soil health. These methods are becoming increasingly popular and often are safer than traditional chemical pesticides.

  2. Alternatives to pesticides Alternatives to pesticides are available, and are generally better and less harmful to both humans and the environment in the long run. One of the most common alternatives to pesticides is organic farming. An organic farming system uses natural pesticides for pest management without using synthetic pesticides. (Why is this better for the environment and for human consumption?) Another alternative to pesticides is biological pest controls. Biological pest control include other organisms control insects, diseases, or weeds. For example using the flea battle to control certain weeds. This type of pest control is being used more now in green house productions here in Canada. (Reference) Other alternatives include: Mechanical pest control; controlling weeds using mechanical tools to turn and mix soils. Cultivation practices that include-polyculture (growing multiple types of plants). Or crop rotation, planting crops in areas where the pests that damage them do not live. Intercropping, which is growing more than one type of crop in a field at a time, helps reduce the chance for pests such as weeds to invade. Using pest tolerant crops, which means using plants that are not easily affected by pests. Suing natural pesticides which are pesticides that are made by other organisms such as plants with insecticide properties (for their own protection).

  3. Alternatives to pesticides (Title: "Pesticides" should be capitalized.) Alternatives to pesticides are available, and are generally better and less harmful to both humans and the environment in the long run. (comma splice: simple subject & verb= Alternatives are available and are better and less harmful. or Alternatives are available and alternatives are better and less harmful. No matter how you rearrange this, it is just too complex to be comfortable. Break it into two smaller sentences.) One of the most common alternatives to pesticides is Organic farming. An Organic farming system uses natural pesticides for pest management without using synthetic pesticides. ("Organic farming" is a common expression that doesn't need to be capitailized. Supposing someone has actually patented the expression, it would be "Organic Farming." ) Another alternative to pesticides is Biological pest controls. These are other organisms that are used to control insects, diseases, or weeds. For example using the flea battle to control certain weeds. This type of pest control is being used more now in green house productions here in Canada. ("Biological" is also a common word that doesn't need capitalization. "For example" sould have a comma after it. Even then, it is a fragment, just a dependent clause. "This . . . Canada." awkward. Too many confusing prepositions.) Other alternatives include: (This list should be consistent in style. Either use full sentences on all items in list, or use a definition style with a colon after each term, followed by a gerund. Mechanical: controlling . . . Polyculture: growing . . . Intercropping: growing . . . Natural: using pesticides . . . Mechanical pest control- Controlling weeds using mechanical tools to turn and mix soils. Cultivation practices that include-polyculture( growing multiple types of plants. Or crop rotation, planting crops in areas where the pests that damage them do not live. (Parentheses open but don't close. "Or crop . . .live." Fragment: no clear subject and verb.) Intercropping- witch is growing more than one type of crop in a field at a time to help reduce the chance for pests such as weeds to invade. (witch = which. "such as weeds" is an appositive that should be set off by commas. It would be even better to just omit it, as it is unnecessary.) Using pest tolerant crops- using plants that are not easily affected by pests. And suing natural pesticides- Pesticides that are made by other organisms such as plants with insecticide properties ( for their own protection) (Drop the parentheses and add a period.) Another alternative to pesticides is the thermal treatment of soil through stream. Soil steaming kills pests and increases soil health. (stream = steam) (From the beginning of the list to here should have a consistent format. All are alternative techniques. The next sentence is a conclusion, not another item in the list.) These methods are becoming increasingly popular and often are safer than traditional chemical pesticides. ( . . .popular and are often . . .)
