Integrated pest management (IPM) offers an ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially approved approach to protecting crops. Conventionally, pests are organisms that disrupt agricultural productivity. While commonly associated with insects, diseases, and weeds, pests also encompass various other organisms like nematodes, non-insect arthropods, and vertebrate animals. Modern applications extend pest control beyond agriculture to areas affecting human health and living conditions.
