Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) consists of a suite of management practices that effectively controls pests while minimizing chemical exposure and off-target movement of pesticides. Effective IPM strategies help reduce pest populations and movement, and increase control, which are often influenced by weather and climate.
