The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tutorial is designed to help students apply the principles of integrated pest management to practical crop protection situations. It complements the theoretical knowledge acquired in lectures by developing students’ ability to identify pest problems, monitor pest populations, evaluate risks, and select appropriate management strategies.

The tutorial focuses on the integration of different pest management methods, including cultural, biological, physical, genetic, chemical, and preventive measures. Particular emphasis is placed on rational decision-making, monitoring, economic thresholds, and the selection of effective and environmentally responsible control methods.
