Answer 1

insects can damage plants in many ways:-
they eat away the crop plants.
they carry diseases of plants like xanthonomas frageria and diaphorina citri among others.
the pesticides used to kill them are so strong that they damage the soil and the water table below it.
eventually the insects get habituated to the pesticides and don't die but cause more menace


for class9 this much is enough and the book as its own points

Answer 2

insect pest damage the plant as well as the soil because as we use more pesticides instead of dieing the pests get habituate to the pesticides n get more immunity and attack on the plants hence pesticides are harmful to the plants


sometimes the chemicals which kills insects and pests harms the plants this is also one reason for the damage
