You can choose from cultural, physical, biological and chemical control methods to combat these pests and diseases. All control methods have their strengths and weaknesses and interact with each other in helpful or harmful ways. Make sure you choose the control methods wisely, as you have a limited budget at your disposal…

These pests and diseases will behave in the stimulation as they do in reality.
