Summary

IPM is an ecologically-based pest management strategy that forms a part of the overall crop production system. Ideally, it incorporates all appropriate methods from many scientific disciplines into a systematic approach to minimize pest damage. IPM control tactics include a variety of approaches including cultural control, resistant plant varieties, chemical control, and biological control.
