What to Focus On

  • Sustainable agriculture balances food production and environmental protection.
  • It uses natural resources like soil, forest, and water carefully.
  • It also uses man-made inputs like fertilizers and pesticides in a controlled way.
  • A pest causes economic loss, nuisance, or health hazards.
  • IPM keeps pest numbers below damaging levels.
  • IPM does not mean pest eradication.
  • IPM reduces environmental harm.
  • It lowers pesticide resistance in pests.
  • It can be used in both agricultural and non-agricultural settings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
