Integrated Pest Management
FAO definition:
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) means the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human health and the environment. IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms.

2019-04-06Today, there are various kinds of integrated pest management are present on their farm. Most of the exterminator uses environmental friendly pesticides to kill, control, or manage pests. In my father's farm area, he also uses integrated pest management. He consults some professional pest control companies like http://www.eg-exterminatorsnj.com/About-Us.html who uses a good pesticide which provides good effect on the target on the organisms that are present on the farm.
