"Biointensive IPM is a systems approach to pest management that is based
on an understanding of pest ecology. It relies on resistant varieties
and promoting plant health, crop rotation, disrupting pest reproduction,
and the management of the biological processes to diversify and build
populations of beneficial organisms. Reduced risk pesticides, including
biopesticides, are used only as a last resort and only in ways that
minimize risks".* *Pest Management at the Crossroads, p.178-179 | |
