These methods include biological control, like introducing natural predators; cultural practices, such as crop rotation and habitat management; mechanical controls, like traps or barriers; and the careful, minimal use of chemical pesticides when necessary. IPM aims to reduce the harm to ecosystems and human health while effectively managing pests. It promotes long-term solutions and reduces the likelihood of pests developing resistance to treatments.
