IPM packages tested at several research centres vis-a-vis the farmers’ practices indicate
superiority of the former. IPM practices enabled reduction in the number of chemical sprays. IPM
system also resulted in increase of natural enemies by three-fold, reduced the insecticide and
environmental pollution (Dhaliwal and Arora, 1996).
An integrated strategy for the management of major pests and diseases is possible by
I. breeding new varieties with built-in resistance,
II. evolving efficient methods of pest control through pest surveys and monitoring, and
III. biological control of pests with the help of conservation and augmentation of
natural enemies like parasites, predators and insect pathogens.

4. IPM for Important
Pests:
1.ipm in rice- pest ,Characteristic damage,
Economic thresholds ,Control measures of
Stem borer
Gull midge
Brown plant hopper Whitebacked plant hopper
Green leaf hopper
2.ipm in groundnut
3.IPM in Mustard

5. ● Safety issues in
pesticide use.
Precaution during pesticide application
● Apply only recommended dose and dilution
● Spray operation should be conducted on cool and
calm day
● Spray operation should be conducted on sunny day
in general
● Use recommended sprayer for each spray
● Do not spray against wind direction
● Do not spray just before rains and immediately after
the rain
● ……...etc

6. ● Safety
issues in
pesticide
use
Precaution while preparing spray solution /tank mixture dos
● Always use clean water
● Use protective clothing viz,hand gloves face masks ,cap
apron,full trouser etc to cover whole body .always
protect your nose ,eye,ears,hands etc.
● Read instructions on pesticide container label carefully
before use
● Prepare the solutions as per requirement
● ……...etc

7. ● Political, social and legal implication of IPM.
Political constraints:
• Lack of funds for training farmers and extension workers on the use of IPM.
• pesticides subsidy by the government for political reasons and its tie up with the government provided credit for crop
protection acts as a major constraint to farmers acceptance of IPM.
• Farmers must be encouraged to participate in IPM and give their views.
Social constraints:
• The conditioning of most farmers and farm level extension workers by the pesticide industry has created a situation where
chemicals are presented as highly effective and simple to apply. This acts as a major constraint in IPM implementation.
• There appears to be a direct conflict between Industries object of more sales,and the IPM message of rational pesticides
used in the eyes of farmers.
• There is a need for private industry and public sector extension Agencies to work in a more complementary manner.
• Majority of the farmer in a study in Haryana, India,express their lack of faith in IPM
. • They considered IPM practices to be risky as compared to the use of chemical pesticides

8. ● Case histories of
important IPM
programmes.
National IPM initiative
The US Department of Agriculture USDA
launched national IPM initiative in 1993 the goal of
which was implement IPM practices on 75 percent
of the nation’s crop area by 2000. To measure the
level of adoption USDA put forth PAMS concept,
the acronym for prevention, avoidance, monitoring
and suppression. It has been estimated that some
level of IPM has been implemented on about 70%
of the US crop acerage. The highest percentage of
cropland under IPM was in case of cotton (86) and
vegetables (86) followed by soyabean (78) other
crops and pastures (63), fruits and nuts(62) and
Lucrne hay (40)
