We'll delve into the core elements of IPM, from identifying pests and monitoring their populations to implementing targeted control measures only when necessary. Learn about the diverse toolkit of IPM techniques, including biological control with beneficial insects, habitat manipulation to discourage pests, cultural practices that promote healthy plant growth, and the use of resistant plant varieties.
