Integrated Pest Management

Scope: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a systematic approach to reducing pest damage to tolerable levels through a variety of techniques, including natural predators and parasites, genetically resistant hosts, environmental modifications and, when necessary and appropriate, chemical pesticides. Under IPM, biological approaches to pest control are attempted before chemical. Email the subject area specialist at daustin (@umd.edu) or call (301)314-0014 for more information.
