Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
IPM requires a shift in focus to managing pests proactively and effectively, rather than just eliminating them.
Understanding IPM
What is Integrated Pest Management?
IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant crop varieties.
Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimises risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment.
