Why is it important to know the life cycle of a pest to effectively control it?

What will be an ideal response?


For best control, the life cycle of a pest to be controlled must be known. There are times
in the life cycle of a pest when it is easier to control and times when control is not
possible. Also, a pest that gets inside a plant part, such as a fruit or vegetable used for
consumption, should be controlled in the egg or first hatch stage, if possible, before the
plant is damaged, or the adult must be prevented from laying eggs in the first place.
