Generation

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a smart, eco-friendly approach to controlling pests that combines multiple strategies rather than relying solely on pesticides. It works by first monitoring pest populations to determine if they've actually reached damaging levels, then using a combination of methods like biological controls (natural predators), cultural practices (crop rotation, resistant varieties), physical barriers, and only using chemical pesticides as a last resort. The goal is to keep pest populations below the point where they cause economic damage while minimizing harm to beneficial insects, people, and the environment. Think of it as working *with* nature's systems rather than against them.
