Sustainable Techniques to Manage Agricultural Pests

IPM includes biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical management practices to sustainably control pests and protect crops.

Introducing beneficial insects like lacewings to eat harmful pests, or using parasitic wasps which feed on pests.

Biological measures

Cultural measures

Follow crop rotation to disrupt pest life cycles. Keep the fields clean of plant debris that might harbour pests.

Mechanical measures

Use sticky traps to monitor and control pest levels. Follow mulching to suppress weeds and create poor conditions for pests.

Chemical measures

Green label chemical pesticides are used to control pest infestation to keep their population below economic injury level.
