1. Added in section on applications for IPM, including agriculture, Preventive conservation, industry

What needs to be fixed:

1. Research, fix, and add citations to the history section.
2. This article states that IPM started at the beginning of the development of pesticides during the Neotechnic Period, other methods of IPM were used before this, but I was unable to find credible sources for this, if you know of some please add them.

It states that insectides are used as a last resort in IPM. Not so. "Last resort" implies that a grower has tried all tools and tactics before using a chemical. For example, many diseases are currently managed with the use of chemicals (even oils and naturally-derived compounds are chemicals). It would be more correct to state that IPM is used to reduce the use of any management practice according to its economic need.

I agree Pesticides are often used as part of a program not as a last resort. under IPM pesticides are use strategically. i will change it slightly. --Hypo Mix 08:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if its that misleading, chemicals are usually the last resort in an IPM program, but that definitely depends on how you define last resort. Its not like chemicals are being avoided until a breakout occurs. Sometimes there is no other way to keep pests below acceptable levels without chemicals from the get go, hence chemicals will be used in these programs from the beginning. This is still a last resort use of chemicals, even though the chemicals are always used. However, I like the change of wording since it will avoid confusion.MATThematical (talk) 03:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a very critical component missing from this page. It's the keystone of IPM; the economic injury level (EIL). I don't have time to recite pest management 101 here, but open a book on Integrated Pest Management and read for yourself. It's a story about economics.

EIL = C/VIDK 65.172.11.30 05:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The economic injury level is discussed under "acceptable pest level" Bugguyak 19:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC) [[Media:]]]] i think the ecomics is in important to the coutry our <sub people think that they are perfect ${\displaystyle 46/342.34675.9875.484<5748732\$7584,5584,57564438m430+8678=\$67432.434.3245.432345.4245.32452345.454234}$[reply]

This article seems to only address agricultural isses and pests. Pests are a constant threat to museum, library, and archive collections. Because these collections have rare and valuable objects, pesticides should be used as a final resort since more pesticides will be harmful to the objects. This is why a integrated pest management approach is appealing.

Agreed. And not just regarding pest problems with museums and archival collections; this article should be expanded beyond its agricultural focus to cover all structural pest control, too, as IPM is an important strategy used by modern pest control companies.

Added as agriculture wikiproject

This article gives the impression that IPM was developed in the later half of the 20th century. Almost no credit is given to ancient civilizations that practiced at least partial IPM. The oldest form of pest management in cultural controls. This article makes it sound like farmers did nothing before the use of pesticides. MATThematical (talk) 03:15, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The introduction of this article is filled with vague opinions such as “IPM poses the least risks while maximizing benefits and reducing costs.”

Whether true or false, statements like these are not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. Consider substantiating the claim or attributing it to a specific source, rather than stating vague superiority as fact.

Oppose: the two articles are quite substantial and if combined would become quite unwieldy, I think. IPM is an important concept in agriculture and there is a danger that the interesting cultural property aspects (that I was previously unaware of) could become obscured. IMO keep separate with 'see also' links. Roy Bateman (talk) 11:02, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
