 PEST means An organism that reduces the
availability, quality, or value of some natural

 MANAGEMENT means Skilled handling
Definition
 "IPM is a sustainable approach to managing
pests by combining biological, cultural,
physical and chemical tools in a way that
minimizes economic, health, and environmental
risks."
Aims of IPM
 Reduce the use of synthetic organic pesticides
 That are environmentally sound
 Pest minimal risk of human health
 Re-useable return on investment
 Provide consumable safe food

BIOLOGICAL METHOD
 Beneficial Organisms
Biological
methods
Pollinators
Predators
Parasitoids
Microbial
PREDATORS
Snakes kill rats Frogs eat insects
Ducks in the rice fields as predators of
snails and insects
spider
POLLINATORS
PARASITOIDS
Larval parasitoids are
often small wasps such
as this Braconid wasp
(Apanteles sp.)
Bitter gourd leaf with a parasitoid
wasp.
MICROBIAL
Nuclear polyhedrosis virus
Looper killed by Bt
Beneficial Nematodes One of Beauveria bassiana's (a fungus)
vicitims
CULTURAL METHOD
Intercropping with insectary plants
Scarecrow
mulching
Sanitation
drip irrigation
CHEMICAL METHODS
Theuseof toxicsubstancesor pesticidesto kill or reduce
insectpest populations
CHEMICAL METHODS OF INSECT CONTROL:
 Botanicals
•Derived from botanical sources
•Biodegrade rapidly
•Widely varying levels of toxicity
BOTANICAL INSECTICIDE: NEEM
• From seeds of the neem tree
• Broad spectrum against many pests
• Must be ingested to be toxic
• Low mammalian toxicity
• May require repeat applications
ADVANTAGES OF IPM :-
 Healthier plants
 Reduced contamination of environment
 Reduced use of pesticides
 Reduced input cost
 Batter use of natural resources
 Reduced contamination of the crop with chemical
residues
 Reduced risk of farmer from contamination with
chemicals
 More regular crop quality and quantity
