What is Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based approach to solving pest problems whilst minimising risks to people and the environment.
Innovative examples using modern technologies include electronic sensors, robotic crop inspectors and low-energy lighting within the horticultural sector. This ‘high-tech approach’ is not just reserved for protected crops as drone technology, satellite imagery and nutrient mapping are changing the way arable and fruit tree farmers approach problems by providing an almost unlimited level of detailed information that is helping the grower in new and exciting ways.
