Integrated Pest Management: Natural Solutions for Healthy Crops

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach to pest control that combines biological, cultural, and mechanical methods with minimal chemical intervention. At Tesla Plantation, we've successfully implemented IPM strategies across all our plantations.

IPM Components:
- Biological control (beneficial insects)
- Cultural practices (crop rotation, companion planting)
- Mechanical methods (traps, barriers)
- Chemical control (last resort, selective use)
- Monitoring and scouting

Benefits of IPM:
- Reduced pesticide use
- Lower production costs
- Environmental protection
- Pest resistance prevention
- Ecosystem balance
- Safer food products

Our IPM program has reduced pesticide use by 60% while maintaining crop quality and yield. This approach protects both our crops and the environment.
