Because global fisheries have dramatically seen a reduction in fish numbers, this technique has been used recently to supplement that loss.

• monocropping

• IPM

• contour farming

• aquaculture

One of the advantages to using genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is

• reduce the need for pesticides

• they are not regulated by the government

• the concern about safety to consume

• they can cause food allergies

Use of this method of control requires concentrations to be increased often because pest develop resistance

• GMOs

• Pestsides

• plant removal

• control burning

The Green Revolution was

• a dramatic increase in crop yields in developing countries

• change to more sustainable agriculture

• way of fighting soil erosion

• power grab by the Green party in the 1980s

IPM is likely to use all of the following techniques EXCEPT

• intercropping.

• habitat creation for pest predators.

• planting herbicide-resistant crops.

• increased use of traditional pesticides.

Overgrazing of grasslands can lead to reduced range quality. Two of the major effects of overgrazing are

• erosion and desertification

• eutrophication and increased methane production

• higher fire potential and increased productivity

• higher primary productivity and ammonification

Which of the following is a positive outcome of tilling?

Monocropping has a number of disadvantages. These include all of the following EXCEPT

• Erosion due to exposure of large areas of soil during planting.

• Nutrition and pesticide needs should be similar throughout a single crop.

• Pests are likely to attack a monocrop due to the high concentration.

• Loss of habitat for natural pest predators.
