A: IPM means Integrated Pesticide Management. Basically, this is the judicial use of pesticides as a last resort once culture and physical management practices have failed to cure the problem. Cultural and physical management means the better use of fertilizer and lawn irrigation as well as proper mowing practices. Also knowing the pests life cycle and current weather conditions can be useful in reducing the use of pesticides. For example, at times, the pest has already done its damage and moved on or current weather conditions have reduced the pest levels to a non-damaging number so an application of pesticide would not be helpful.
