What placement is appropriate for "Cultural Sanitation Practices" in IPM?

The appropriate placement of "Cultural Sanitation Practices" in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework is at Level 3. This level emphasizes practices that involve changes to agricultural systems or the environment to reduce pest populations.

Cultural sanitation practices include methods such as crop rotation, maintaining cleanliness in agricultural areas, and eliminating conditions that foster pest development. These practices contribute to preventing pest infestations before they can occur and are a critical component of sustainable pest management strategies. By changing the habitat or environment through sanitation, IPM can effectively reduce reliance on chemical controls and promote healthier ecosystems.

Level 3 is specifically designed for these proactive approaches, while levels attributed to reactive measures or monitoring practices would not be as fitting.
