Integrated pest management (IPM)

Integrated pest management (IPM)

A strategy that utilises various tactics or control methods (cultural, biological, and chemical) in a harmonious way in which control actions are based on frequent monitoring of the pest. IPM depends on multidisciplinary ecological strategies to weigh the effect of each tactic, as part of the agroecosystem, in producing the least disturbance and yield loss in the long run.
