Abstract
It is increasingly understood that rising agricultural pesticide use has negative effects on both human and environmental health. A substitute for the traditional pest management method is Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM can increase agricultural profitability by lowering the cost of pest control, and it also ensures fair, secure, sufficient, and consistent flows of both food and ecosystem services. In India, IPM has mostly remained an intellectual activity and hasn't had much of an impact on the farming community in terms of application or adoption. Lack of knowledge among farmers is a major concern as it contributes to their reluctance to employ IPM technology. The worldwide accepted strategy for pest management is Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Actually, it's often referred to as "integrated pesticide management." Here, we highlighted about the difficulties in true advancement and interpretation of the IPM method to achieve during its deployment and expansion.
