National IPM Framework

The National Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Framework is a comprehensive program designed to manage pest populations in an environmentally responsible way. It emphasizes utilizing the safest, most effective methods—such as biological controls, habitat management, and targeted chemical use—while minimizing risks to people, non-target species, and the environment. The framework promotes collaboration among government agencies, industries, and communities to develop sustainable strategies that balance pest control with ecological health and economic considerations. It aims to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides by encouraging integrated approaches that are safe, effective, and environmentally sustainable.
