Answer :
IPM is a sustainable approach aimed at managing pests to below economically damaging levels, primarily through non-chemical measures and using chemical pesticides as a last resort. It seeks to minimize the environmental impact by integrating multiple control methods.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an approach that aims at sustainable pest control by reducing the reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides. It emphasizes managing pests at an acceptable threshold rather than completely eradicating them and favors the use of non-chemical measures wherever possible. When chemical pesticides are necessary, IPM strategies involve choosing and applying products in ways that minimize their environmental impact. IPM does not necessarily aim for the complete elimination of pesticides but suggests their use as a last resort. The intention is to intervene with chemical control only when other ecologically based measures prove inadequate. This approach can include multiple control methods applied either simultaneously or in succession for the most effective results.
