A
use of organic fertilizers
B
use of chemical insecticides
C
practice of crop rotation techniques
D
practice of hydroponic farming techniques
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The best way to avoid resistance is to use IPM strategies to prevent the increase in resistant pest types, such as: Rotating crops to reduce the use of the same pesticides season after season. Reducing nutrient sources such as plant stubble that can harbor pathogens and insects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Resistant insects may detoxify or destroy the toxin faster than susceptible insects, or quickly rid their bodies of the toxic molecules. Metabolic resistance is the most common mechanism and often presents the greatest challenge. Insects use their internal enzyme systems to break down insecticides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Try using non-chemical management methods on your lawn and garden, such as introducing beneficial insects and wild, native plants, or use physical methods, including hand weeding, mulching, or setting traps, to reduce chemical use outdoors.
