The integrated pest management strategy that involves planting grasses or specific plant species to deter termites is often referred to as "push-pull" strategy. In this approach, certain plants (the “push” plants) are used to repel pests, while others (the “pull” plants) attract beneficial insects or natural enemies of the pests. In the context of termites, certain grasses can act as a deterrent due to their chemical properties or physical structure, helping to protect more vulnerable plants or crops. This method is part of a broader integrated pest management (IPM) strategy that seeks to minimize chemical pesticide use and enhance ecological balance.
