How do cultural control methods primarily function?

  1. By eliminating the pest’s food sources

  2. By preventing pest access to the area

  3. By creating unfavorable conditions for pest survival

  4. By genetically modifying crops to be pest-resistant

The correct answer is: By creating unfavorable conditions for pest survival

Cultural control methods primarily function by creating unfavorable conditions for pest survival. This means that they aim to make the environment inhospitable for pests to thrive, thus reducing their population. Eliminating food sources and preventing pest access to the area are also methods used in cultural control, but they are not the primary function. Genetically modifying crops to be pest-resistant is a form of biological control, not cultural control.
