Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not an effect on man of the various preventive and control measures of diseases and pests of crops?
Answer Details
The correct option is "poor utilization". Preventive and control measures of diseases and pests of crops are taken to ensure healthy and abundant crop yields. These measures include the use of pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. While these chemicals may have adverse effects on the environment, such as air pollution and water poisoning, they do not directly lead to poor utilization of crops by humans. The other options, such as food contamination and poor health, are potential negative effects of the use of these chemicals.
