Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an environmentally friendly approach to controlling pests that combines various strategies. It focuses on understanding the life cycles and behaviors of pests, using this knowledge to minimize their impact on crops and the environment. IPM employs techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and the use of resistant plant varieties. The goal of IPM is to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, promoting sustainable agriculture. By monitoring pest populations and applying control methods only when necessary, IPM helps protect beneficial organisms and maintains ecological balance, ultimately leading to healthier ecosystems and safer food production.
