Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecological approach to pest control that combines various management strategies and practices to minimize the impact of pests while reducing the use of harmful chemicals. This method promotes sustainable agriculture by balancing pest control with environmental conservation, economic viability, and human health considerations. IPM emphasizes the importance of monitoring pest populations, understanding their life cycles, and using a variety of control methods, including biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical techniques, when necessary.
