Which of the following is NOT a goal of pesticide application?

Ensure complete pest elimination
Maintain pest levels below economic threshold
Minimize harm to non-target species
Reduce pest resistance

The correct answer is: Ensure complete pest elimination

Eliminating all pests completely is not a feasible or sustainable goal for pesticide application. First, pesticides may have varying levels of effectiveness against different pest species and may not completely eliminate all of them. Additionally, eliminating all pests may disrupt the ecosystem and could potentially harm beneficial species. This goal also does not take into account the potential development of pesticide resistance in pests. Therefore, the other choices – maintaining pest levels below economic threshold, minimizing harm to non-target species, and reducing pest resistance – are more realistic and responsible goals for pesticide application.
