Application of Principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM): E ective, Economical and Eco-friendly ways to keep insect pests at bay

With all the drawbacks of using the conventional pest management methods coming to the fore in the terms of the adverse impact on ecology, human health and environment, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has emerged as the plausible solution. IPM is a science-based approach that integrates a variety of techniques to prevent and/or contain the damage caused by pests. By studying their life cycles and how pests ininteract with the environment, IPM professionals can manage pests with the most current methods to improve management, lower costs and reduce risks to people and surrounding environment. IPM is based on the premise that the probability of development of resistance to a single method is far greater compared to when a number of tactics are adopted in conjunction with each other, for its control. Moreover, the limitlimitations and drawbacks of a method are taken care of by the other methods in IPM, and hence, the integration of various methods in pest management programs makes it very effective

besides being economical and eco-friendly.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a fairly modern concept withmajor shift from age-old principles of pest control that reliedheavily on chemical treatments. IPM is a holistic approach thatrelies on a combination of common-sense practices that usecurrent, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests andtheir interaction with the broader environment. This information, incombination with available pest control methods, is used ineffective way to manage pest damage by the most economicalmeans, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, andthe environment.

IPM is a systems approach that takes advantage of all availableappropriate pest management options including, but not limited to,the judicious use of pesticides. For organic  food production,however, many of the same concepts as IPM are applied, but theuse of pesticides is limited to those that are produced from naturalsources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals.

Various methods/tools used in IPM1) Alteration of surroundings so as to make it unfavourable for the establishment of pest population2) Introduction of natural enemies of the pest: Predators, parasites andpathogens3) Grow plants that resist pests4) Disrupt development of pest by using Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) \5) Identify the initial symptoms of pest damage and prevent the pestpopulation from reaching the Economic Injury Level or EIL6) Disrupt pest behavior by using sex pheromones, repellents, etc.7) Use botanical pesticides8) Need-based and judicious use of chemical pesticides

Principles of an IPM ProgramA.    Identify pests, their hosts and beneficial organisms before taking actionB.    Establish monitoring guidelines for each pest speciesC.    Establish an action threshold for the pestD.    PreventionE.    Evaluate and implement control tacticsF.     Monitor, evaluate and document the results

Advantages of an IPM Program1.     Lower cost intervention2.     Benefits to environment 3.     Minimize residue hazards of synthetic pesticide4.     Safe for human health
