What are the essential components of an IPM program?

  1. Introduce pests, neglect monitoring, avoid action

  2. Ignore pest identification, skip monitoring, implement one-time control measures

  3. Monitor pests, understand their biology, adopt a laissez-faire attitude

  4. Identify the pest, monitor, set management goals, implement, evaluate

The correct answer is: Identify the pest, monitor, set management goals, implement, evaluate

An IPM program (integrated pest management) requires several key components to be effective. These include identifying the pest, monitoring its presence and activity, setting management goals, implementing appropriate control measures, and evaluating the effectiveness of those measures. Option A is incorrect because it includes introducing pests, which is counterproductive to pest management. Option B is incorrect because it advocates for ignoring pest identification and not monitoring, which are crucial steps in effectively managing pests. Option C is incorrect because it promotes a hands-off approach and neglects the fact that understanding the biology of pests is essential in developing effective management strategies. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it includes all the essential components of an IPM program.
