Pest management & pesticides

Integrated pest management & control

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an approach to pest management developed to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.

The approach is driven by: high cost of pesticides; increased pest resistance to pesticides; awareness of negative impacts of pesticides on human health, biodiversity, food and water quality, and trade and other regulations.

The site publishes case studies, trends and strategies to reduce chemical pesticide useage.
