What is IPM?
It is the best and well known pest management system with the most economical way and with the less possible hazard to people and environment. It is the effective and environmentally sound approach for pest management. The Integrated Pest Management system is now a day’s used both agriculture and non agricultural system such as home, garden or any other kind of work place. It takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options including, but not limited to the judicious use of pesticides. The aims of these practices are to suppress pest population below the economic injury level (EIL). IPM is a sound solution for treating and controlling pests. It is incorporated by 3 basic ways: 1) Inspection, 2) Identification and 3) Eradication. IPM allows for a safer means of controlling pests. This can include controlling insects, plant pathogens and weeds. It emphasizes the growth of healthy crop with the least possible of disruption to agro-ecosystem and enhances natural pest control mechanisms. IPM is not a single pest control method but rather a series of pest management evaluations, decisions and controls. In agriculture Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control strategy that uses an array of complementary methods: natural predators and parasites, pest resistant varieties, cultural varieties, biological controls, verious physiological techniques and pesticides as a last resort. It is an ecological approach that can significantly reduce the use of pesticide.
