Which of the following is a method of cultural control in pest management?

Cultural control methods in pest management involve practices that change the environment to make it less conducive to pest infestations. Crop rotation is a prime example of this approach. It involves alternating the types of crops grown in a specific area from season to season. This practice disrupts the life cycle of pests that are specific to certain crops. By not allowing pests to establish themselves in one location, the farmer can minimize pest populations and reduce the need for chemical interventions.

Pesticide application falls under chemical control measures rather than cultural practices. Trapping is considered a form of mechanical control, which aims to capture or kill pests directly. Genetic modification, while it can lead to pest-resistant crops, is a form of biotechnology and does not fit within the traditional scope of cultural controls.
