Sustainable pest management is a central pillar of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This module explores the importance of adopting sustainable agricultural practices that reduce dependency on chemical pesticides while maintaining long-term pest control and ecosystem health. Learners will examine practices such as crop rotation, enhancing soil health, promoting biodiversity, and minimizing pesticide use to achieve sustainable pest management.
By the end of this module, learners will understand how to incorporate sustainability into pest management strategies, leading to more resilient agricultural systems that can thrive in the long term without compromising the environment or human health.
