From the supplier: Integrated pest management (IPM) is perceived by its adopters as a practice which minimizes pesticide residues in food, soil and water and thus minimizes potential health risks, affirming the hypothesis that IPM adoption is tantamount to practicing alternative agriculture. According to an investigation of the extent to which farmers have adopted IPM and, consequently, alternative agriculture, IPM adopters were also found to adopt other practices that would result in the conservation maintenance of farm soil and water. Findings thus indicate that the use of IPM indeed leads to a 'spillover' environmental conservation and maintenance effect.
