Abstract

“Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a system that utilizes all suitable pest control techniques and methods to keep pest populations below economically injurious levels. Each pest control technique must be environmentally sound and compatible with production and user objectives. Integrated Pest Management is more than chemical pesticide management. In many cases, it includes biological, cultural and sanitary control practices for all pest complexes.” (Ledbetter et al. 1979)
