Advertisements
Solution
The concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emerged in reaction to mounting data and public concern over heavy pesticide use. IPM is an environmentally friendly method that employs a number of tactics, including biological control, habitat modification, cultural practice modification and the use of resistant cultivars, to prevent pests or the harm they cause in the long run. IPM also recommends the use of natural insecticides. Plants, animals, fungus and bacteria can all produce naturally occurring pesticides. The goals of IPM include lowering management costs, avoiding or reducing environmental pollution and preserving ecological balance with little disruption to the ecosystem.
