Pests are herbivorous insects causing serious economic damage to crops and posing a serious challenge to sustainable agriculture across the globe. To combat this menace, farmers resolve to chemical means of control. These pesticides cause an ecological imbalance, poison the food and the environment. The insects tend to develop resistance against such chemical pesticides.

Old Farmers used to integrate other means to solve the same problem, which were quite unscientific.

Different Components of pest management were integrated in a scientific way to check the pest level and maintain it below the economic injury in Integrated Pest Management.

This course discusses categories of insects based on various parameters, survey pests and method used in the survey and its applications. The course will proceed to explain the principles of pest management and Integrated Pest Management System, components of pest management and integration tactics and end with examples of successful IPM techniques in India.

    I recently completed the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) course offered on this website, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The course is incredibly helpful and efficient, covering all key aspects of IPM in a way that's easy to understand and apply. The materials are well-organized, and the instructors present practical, sustainable solutions for managing pests with minimal environmental impact. I found the content both insightful and relevant, giving me a strong foundation to use IPM strategies in real-life agricultural practices. Highly recommended for anyone seeking effective, eco-friendly pest management knowledge!

    This course was very, very interesting. I learned a lot about integrated pest management.
    The IPM method is very essential for the efficient management of insect pests. This avoids insect resistance mechanisms, environmental pollution, ecosystem destruction, soil pullition and the destruction of natural enemies.

  • Cedric Buchler
    What i found most helpful is how the ecological and behavioural helps you understand what insects are you working with the impact of such insect and how they behave. What insecticide to use and how much insecticide to use this helps the with the restriction of insecticides and the impact it has on the the environment.
