Abstract
Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ancient effective practice for pest management having different common strategies. This concept is based on environment-friendly practices by minimizing human and environmental risks. Different techniques, such as physical control, biological control, mechanical control, cultural control, and chemical control, have been used for pest management. Nanopesticides, GIS, and artificial intelligence are the modern techniques also used for integrated pest management. Nanopesticides, GIS, and AI offer innovative solutions to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of integrated pest management. By integrating these technologies into IPM frameworks, agricultural stakeholders can make informed decisions, mitigate pest-related risks, and promote more resilient and environmentally friendly farming practices.
