Apes in a Box: Integrated Pest Management & Biological Pest Control

Picture
Integrated Pest Management
- A holistic to pest management, to reduce pest populations to a economic level.

Picture
IPM strategies
- Crop rotation
-Creation of habitat
-usage of pest resistant
-Intercropping makes pests more difficult
-Altering planting time to disrupt pest life cycles
 - Using vacuums to remove pests, or spraying plants with hot water to destroy larvae

Picture
Disadvantages of IPM 
-Successful, farmers to be well educated
