Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has become increasingly critical to Canadian horticulture growers looking to maximize the yield and quality of their crops in a sustainable manner.

A systematic decision-making process, IPM supports a balanced approach to managing crop production systems through sound economic and environmental practices, as outlined here.

Whether it’s weeds, insects or diseases, growers who follow IPM program principles are careful to identify pests and monitor their populations before choosing the best crop protection product for their specific challenge.
