What are cultural control methods?

  1. Strategies that involve changing farmers' attitudes towards pests

  2. Methods involving the physical removal of pests by hand

  3. The manipulation of the environment or agricultural practices to reduce pest damage

  4. Legal measures taken to control pest populations

The correct answer is: The manipulation of the environment or agricultural practices to reduce pest damage

Cultural control methods involve manipulating the environment or agricultural practices in order to reduce pest damage. This can include strategies such as crop rotation, intercropping, and promoting the growth of natural predators. Options A and B are incorrect because they involve changing attitudes or physically removing pests, but do not specifically involve manipulating the environment or agricultural practices. Option D is incorrect because legal measures are not considered a cultural control method.
