definition: Integrated pest management (ipm) is a collection of techniques used to control pests in agricultural production while protecting against longterm damage to the environment, human health, and property. In contrast to conventional pest control, which has relied heavily on chemical pesticides and short-term economic return, IPM involves the use of a combination of nonpesticide methods for the reduction and control of pests.
