Key Steps in an Effective Mushroom Farm IPDM Program
Integrated Pest and Disease Management (IPDM) is a comprehensive, multifaceted, and systematic approach to managing pests and diseases. Rather than treat diseases when they express on-farm with synthetic chemical pesticides, or apply synthetic pesticides routinely to prevent diseases occurring, an effective IPDM program eliminates the root cause of pest and pathogen infestations. IPDM can suppress or remove pest and pathogen populations in a stepwise, sustainable, safe, cost-effective and environmentally sound manner.
