What is Integrated Pest Management?

Integrated pest management (IPM), also known as integrated pest control (IPC) is a broad-based approach that integrates practices for economic control of pests. IPM aims to suppress pest populations below the economic injury level (EIL). Baculoviruses are pathogens that attack insects and other arthropods. The majority of baculoviruses used as biological control agents used in narrow spectrum insecticidal application and are being conserved in integrated pest management.
