WHAT IS IPM?

 Empowering farmers to become effective

managers and decision-makers

 To be able to grow a healthy crop with the

least disruption of the agro-ecosystem,
thereby encouraging natural pest control
mechanisms and minimizing pesticide usage
and dependency

 IPM BY FARMERS, NOT FOR FARMERS
