Biological Control

50 picture

IPM encourages beneficial organisms, such as ladybugs, as a natural means of control. IPM frequently improves the quality of the crop, and maintains or increases crop yield. Because of the reduced need for pesticides, groundwater contamination from pesticides is less likely to occur. Contact your Cooperative Extension agent for IPM information.
