In one very specific region with a very specific ecoculture. It's not guranteed, and in fact highly unlikely that such methods would be successful everywehre.
There is only one real way to gurantee pesticides not being needed to be used on a world level....
and you've already discounted it.
GMOs.
The Momsanto Corn you hate so much that has had numerous scientific studies done on it that show it does no harm to humans has lowered pesitcide use by 45%.

Your anti-sceince, anti-logic agenda is basiclly handicapping what you want to happen.
The above article puts it best...
“I find it so tragic that, by and large, crop biotechnologists and farmers want to reduce their pesticide use, and yet the method we think is most sustainable and environmentally friendly has been dismissed out of hand.” He pauses as he recalls the event and says, “There is no scientific justification for it—it is just as if there is a high priest who decided, ‘Thou shalt not be GMO.’ ”
