Biological, Chemical, Cultural, Mechanical
What are the multiple pests we should manage in IPM?
Insects, Weeds, Pathogens, Diseases, Nematodes, Vertebrates, etc.
State the importance of IPM.
- It reduces pests to tolerable levels
- It incorporates economic sustainability
- It incorporates environmental and social concerns
What is Pest Management?
- A process by which information is collected and used to make good management decisions to reduce pest population impacts in a planned coordinated way.
Pest Management requires?
Tolerance, Information, Strategy
