Integrated Pest Management  

Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, combines appropriate methods to reduce pests such as weeds, insects, diseases, and rodents to acceptable levels while causing the least impact on the environment and public health. The practice of IPM is not limited to agriculture, but is used in schools, daycare centers, parks, homes, golf courses and gardens. IPM programs can be site-, crop- or pest-specific. This web site presents the basic concepts of IPM and provides links to more detailed resources.
