They harm plants, animals, and people. Farmers should use other methods such as biological control insects that can kill the pest instead of using herbicides.

I think the farmers should consider the miss use off chemicals being use for the plants to maintain it color and ect I think they should just let it be. Also when planting something else they should remove everything and start fresh.

Farmers should consider coming up with a natural solution that works as a pesticide. Farmers could also pick the weeds or hire people in need of jobs to pick the weeds. Mowing and grazing and seeding are also options. Seeding could help in hopes of the invasive species dying out from so many seeds being spread.

I say that herbicides and pesticides should not be used since they can affect humans and livestock as well. I would tell the farmer to use the Biological control insects since its low cost and effectiveness which makes insects adapt to one tactic, and the con is the slow process.

Pesticides are harmful to people even though they were made for food. My advice would to make an indoor garden or use something other than pesticides to get rid of bugs.

I would say that there are better ways of growing plants or maintaining them. One way is by biologically controlling plants and by seeding with native plants

A strategy a farmer can use is the Biological control of pest where they can use different tactics where they can use living plants that can survive with insects like cabbage. After a farmer uses a plant that can survive with insects they will use that as bait .Therefore, getting the plants use to that tactic. Although this process might take long it will work and more can be planted without worrying about pests. 4/12/2016 03:04:01 pm
Pesticides and herbicides are being used in far too large amount and are being used without caution. However, if the farmers can't work with greater caution or less pesticides than instead the food should be checked before being given to stores.

I would tell the farmer the cons of the herbicides that can damage people leaving them sickly and also dealing with pollution. That their best strategy would be biological controlling to take care the problem.

The use of herbicides and pesticides for agriculture is not healthy for the people, animals, and environment. It causes many illnesses and pollution. A way the farmers can use to prevent the pesticides etc is using Biological controlling.

Herbicides are good for multiple reasons. For example herbicides are good to take out plants you don't need , but that is also a con because of chemicals that can cause harm to the environment ( Plants, animals)

Farmers should not be allowed to use chemical pesticides because they are harmful to organisms. When pesticides are sprayed on crops they are crops, livestocks consume it. The livestocks are apart of our diets and when we eat them we are also consuming harmful pesticides. Farmers should use another approach for pest management such as seeding with native plants. This method is the safest safest approach and only harm the unwanted species.

Find people to pick the stuff out instead of using the machines more for example using chemicals to spray plants to prevent insects or animals also use different chemicals that don't harm animals or plants

I would say that herbicides and pesticides in agriculture are not only harmful to the environment, but it is harmful to the animals within that habitat, and futhermore us as humans once we consume them. Some advice for farmers are to have more livestock that can graze and eliminate parasites.

I would say that despite the tough efforts that is needed to actually go out and rip the weeds from the soil, that it is the best option. Using the chemicals can damage not only the plants surrounding the one weed but possibly the soil that it is in so that another plant won't be able to grow in it in the future.

Farmers' should not use pesticide/herbicides as a solution to getting rid of invasive plants (knapweed). Why? simply because it doesn't just harm the invasive plants themselves, but also the plants, animals, and people around the environment it is used on. It's putting health issues & that should be stopped. Instead of using pesticide/herbicides as a solution they should use the method of mechanical removal.

I feel like farmers should not use the pesticides and herbicides because they cause more harm then good. These toxic sprays that they put on these plants or pests may harm the environment by going in its atmosphere. Also some plants and animals can adapt to being sprayed with it very fast they become immune and being even harder to kill off. Farmers have to find a different way of killing off the pests and invasive plants. They should try to do it manually because it would prevent much of this happening.

I think that people that use these herbicides should really consider the drawbacks it has on the environment. The herbicides contributes to pollution in the air we breath (Like how cars do). It also has health effects on living things. Not just humans but to insects and animals that might get in contact to the herbicide. Maybe there's another way that people can kill off unwanted vegetation. The companies that make these herbicides that them naturally so the drawbacks are not that harmful.

I believe that herbicides and pesticides in agriculture can be very effective. Although, there are many downsides to using this as it can affect the environment. The use of herbicide and pesticide destroy unwanted vegetation and make for better landscaping. This also contributes to pollution and many other serious health effects. I would recommend Farmers to be smart and seek an alternative which also is useful and good for the environment. Biological Control insects would be a good alternative as it eats knapweed and no chemicals would affect the land.

I believe that herbicides and pesticides should not be allowed on fresh produce. Its harmful to the human body and can impact it in negative ways. Farmers could always purchase food-friendly pesticide. It may be more expensive but it's worth the health of consumers. Also, mowing and grazing will help take away any pests that live among the plants.

Herbicides and pesticides, although they get rid of invasive plants, should not be used because these chemicals spread to other native plants. The chemicals sprayed can also be embedded into the soil that it is sprayed on. A better way of getting rid of invasive plants is to use mechanical removal. This allows for the removal of invasive plants to happen a lot faster and more effectively. Although mechanical removal may happen faster, it is not guaranteed that native plants can't be affected.

Herbicides and Pesticides in agriculture is bad for plants, humans, and the environment. My advice to farmers is to use the management strategy of Biological Control Insects to eradicate the weeds.

I think that farmers should not use pesticides and herbicides. They can be really damaging to the land and animals around it. Not only do these animals intake the chemicals from the herbicides but us human also consume them. A better way of getting rid of particular plants can be by biological control insects. This is not harming anything but the plant you would want to get rid of. Biological control insects is the use a particular insect that particularly likes to feed on the plant you would like to get rid of.

Farmers should not use pesticides or herbicides to get rid of invasive plants. These chemicals are more harmful than anything else. They can be harmful to the livestock and people that consume these crops.

I believe that pesticides and herbicides are one of the ways farmers can use but they are not as efficient and user friendly as other possible solutions. They are harmful in many ways such as increasing pollution and causing harmful gasses and liquids to get into our agriculture, environment.

I would say that farmers should consider using different and less harmful technique because herbicides don't only affect the unwanted vegetation but they also affect our environment, animals and even us humans, because we end up consuming the product and could cause us our lives.

I would not use Herbicides and Pesticides because they are very harmful to the living organisms around them. I suggest seeding native plants because they are more safe but if you do choose to use them then make sure to monitor them often just to make sure that they are not harming anything.

The recent things we have learned are that pesticide that are put onto the plants can harm use very badly.They cause illnesses to humans and affect our environment by the pollution it brings into the air. Comments are closed.
