integrated-pest-management
Integrated pest management (IPM) is a science-based strategy that combines chemical and non-chemical pest control methods to economically and sustainably manage agricultural pests. In plant science, IPM represents a critical shift away from pesticide-dependent approaches, enabling researchers and growers to develop resilient crop systems that protect plant health while reducing chemical inputs and ecological impact.
