New Delhi [India], March 8 (ANI/Parijat): Integrated Pest Management (IPM), is generally referred to as a crop protection solution to address pest problems while minimizing the risks to the people and the environment.
IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on the long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and the use of resistant varieties.
Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established pest threshold limits, and after cultural and biological control measures have been exhausted.
The erstwhile Ministry of Agriculture recognized the need to divert the agricultural practices adopted by the farmers to a more sustainable manner by introducing integrated pest management in the early 1980s.
