Integrated pest management strategies for sustainable crop production
Authors
Kul Bhooshan Anand, S B Verma
Abstract
Integrated pest management (IPM) offers a systematic approach to
controlling pests in agricultural systems while minimizing negative impacts on
the environment and human health. This essay explores key IPM strategies,
including cultural, biological, mechanical, physical, and judicious chemical
methods, each of which contributes to more resilient and productive cropping
systems. By focusing on prevention, monitoring, and informed decision-making,
IPM reduces reliance on chemical pesticides and promotes ecological balance
within agricultural landscapes. The discussion also addresses how these
combined practices enhance crop yields, support environmental sustainability,
and reduce long-term production risks for farmers. Ultimately, the essay
demonstrates that widespread adoption of IPM is essential for achieving
sustainable crop production and ensuring food security amid changing global
conditions.
