Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based approach focused on long-term pest prevention. It combines techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, cultural practices, and the use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only when necessary, following monitoring and established guidelines, to target specific pests while minimizing risks to human health, beneficial organisms, and the environment. IPM aims to manage, reduce, and eliminate pests that pose harm or nuisance to crops, plants, animals, humans, or the environment.

2. Identification of Pests
3. Evaluation of Sanitation
4. Evaluation of Pest Proofing

6. Monitoring and Evaluation

According to the FAO, pests and diseases are responsible for 20-40% of global crop losses annually.

This loss results in billions of dollars in economic damage to the agricultural sector. Mitigation can be achieved through methods like chemical treatments, biological control, cultural practices, and physical barriers.

Pests account for 40% of global crop loss. As climate change accelerates, pests are spreading faster, threatening crops, livelihoods, and daily life.

Climate change poses one of the greatest challenges to humanity, affecting daily life in offices, homes, and farms. It brings major economic consequences and disrupts routines. An effective action plan is essential to control pests and protect communities from future threats.
