Alternative Pesticide Options for The Home Gardener
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based
strategy that focuses on long-term management of pests or
their damage through a combination of techniques such as
biological controls, habitat manipulation, modification of
cultural practices, use of resistant varieties, and chemical
(UCIPM definition). Chemical controls are employed after
other management techniques have proven ineffective and/
or significant crop damage continues to occur.
