Pest Management

Pest management is the practice of controlling and preventing organisms like insects, rodents, weeds, and fungi that can harm crops, human health, or property. This approach often combines various methods, including biological (using natural predators), chemical (pesticides), cultural (changing farming practices), and mechanical (traps or barriers). The goal is to minimize damage while ensuring safety for people and the environment. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a popular strategy that emphasizes understanding pest life cycles and making informed decisions to achieve effective control with the least possible impact.
