Which method is often excluded from cultural pest management practices?

Cultural pest management practices focus on using non-chemical methods to manage pest populations through changes in the environment, farming practices, or cultural habits. These practices include strategies like monitoring host conditions, modifying pest behavior, and altering environmental conditions to make them less conducive to pest infestations.

The use of chemical barriers, however, is not typically classified under cultural pest management. Instead, it falls under chemical pest management practices, where substances are applied to create a barrier against pests. While chemical barriers can be effective, they do not align with the principles of cultural management, which emphasize sustainability and ecological balance rather than reliance on chemical solutions.
