IPM

​How do we effectively manage pests in agriculture? And why are we beginning to see an uptick in resistant pests? The answer lies in Integrated Pest Management, or IPM. In college, I took classes focused around IPM and it is one of my favorite topics. Whether it be herbicide resistant weeds, insecticide resistant insects, or fungicide resistant diseases, there are very real pest problems that we are facing now, or will be facing soon. How do we go about dealing with our current threats and preparing for the upcoming ones. In this write-up I’ll spend some time discussing IPM, current pests we face, pests we may be facing in the future, and how we can deal with these.
