Why did the indonesian government support ipm for agriculture in 1986? a. many people were dying of starvation. b. pesticide subsidies were costing money, causing pollution, and decreasing yields. c. it wanted to encourage research into genetically modified crops. d. the country was in a recession?

The correct answer is B.

IPM (Integrated Pest Management) is a mechanism which aims to practice the economically viable control of pests. It consists on implementing the adequate measures to prevent the proliferation of pest populations, but keeping pesticides at the lowest level, provided that they do not constitute a threat to human health, or a minium one, and only if their application is justified by economic interests.

IPM was implemented in Indonesia in 1986, by prohibiting the use of 57 pesticides in rice crops and cancelling the subsidies for pesticides (about US$120 million a year). Also, the intention was to limit the resurgence of BPH (the main pest in rice crops), as it was becoming resistent after an excessive use of pesticides in Indonesia. The yields were intensively decreasing due to the spread of that pest.

from the conditions of the working class in england by friedrich engels,the main idea is :

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
