IPMA suite of European Union (EU) legislation under a thematic strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides constitutes the policy instruments supporting the wishes of the European Parliament to achieve significant reductions in the use of conventional pesticides in EU agriculture. The adoption of ...
I find that pesticides used in organic production reduced the negative environmental impacts to surface water, groundwater, soil, air, and pollinators compared to pesticides used in conventional production. However, the difference in the environmental impacts of pesticide use between the two production...
When the dose was doubled the toxicity of Bio-Fly did not increase, however, that of Bio-Neem reached 26.7 after 5 days. It can be concluded that in IPM programs, the application of conventional pesticides must be considered carefully for use, whereas biorational pesticides can be used with...

I knew about crop rotation, no-till, grass waterways, etc, before I ever knew what organic was. His charge against conventional ag is incredibly misleading, considering that organic farms also use pesticides, fertilizers, fossil fuels, and government subsidies. ...
– Knowledge of IPM takes time to obtain – The transition from chemical pesticides will probably result in lower yields for some time – Chemical pesticides are cheap and work well in the short term – Government subsidy programs promote mono- cropping on large acreages Intensive soil ...
Since chemical pesticides are expensive for poor farmers, IPM offers the prospect of lower production costs and higher profitability. However, adoption of IPM may reduce profitability if it also lowers overall productivity or induces more intensive use of other production factors. Using survey data, ...
the policy realm, a series of requirements and incentives to initiate change towards ecological pest management are suggested, including: changing the political-economic structures, countering pressures from the agrochemical industry, disseminating IPM among farmers, broadening education and outreach in IPM....
Conventional pesticide users (CPUs) were defined as pesticide appliers who used pesticides routinely and regularly, whereas users of IPM were those who used pesticides as necessary, and on economically injured crop areas only. The data sets were subjected to the chi-square test of association, ...
