What is integrated pest management in APES?
Integrated pest management combines pest identification, monitoring, prevention, action thresholds and suitable control methods. Cultural, biological, physical and chemical tools can be used when justified. It aims to manage damage and risk rather than treating every insect sighting as a reason for broad-spectrum spraying.
