Balanced Protection for Sustainable Harvests
IPM focuses on maintaining a balanced population of beneficial and harmful organisms in wheat crops. It employs techniques such as releasing natural predators, mechanical interventions like scare equipment, and cultural practices like precision sowing and pest-resistant varieties.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.

Positive or neutral impact
Preventing Pesticide Resistance: IPM employs diverse biological and agronomic methods to reduce reliance on chemical agents, preventing the emergence of pesticide-resistant pests.
Restoring Natural Pest Control: IPM balances populations of beneficial and harmful organisms using biological, mechanical/physical, and cultural techniques, restoring natural pest control mechanisms.
Sustainable Crop Protection: IPM minimizes the use of chemical pesticides, promoting sustainable crop protection and safeguarding food safety and environmental health.
