Abstract
Integrated pest management is an alternative to simple chemical control. It embodies a transitional philosophy that accommodates the horizontal and vertical integration of disciplines and institutions. The long-term goal of IPM is not to refine existing agricultural production systems, but to modify extensively the basic design so that less energy-intensive, more environmentally compatible methods can be used.Keywords
