What role does Integrated Pest Management (IPM) play?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable approach that combines different management strategies and practices to grow healthy crops and minimize pesticide use. IPM includes methods such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and use of resistant varieties. By focusing on pest prevention and monitoring, IPM reduces the need for chemical interventions, thereby lowering the potential toxicological impacts on non-target organisms and the environment.
