Integrated Pesticides Management

INTEGRATED PESTICIDES MANAGEMENT

IPM approach minimizes the use of chemicals and emphasizes natural and low toxicity methods to control pests in agricultural production.

What is IPM?

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

IPM means the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human health and the environment. IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms.

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a process used to solve pest problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment.

IPM is a strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring and according to established guidelines, with the goal of removing only the target organism affecting the crop. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a way that minimizes risks to human health and benefits non-target organisms, which also help the environment.

Adoption of IPM strategies provides economic benefits due to sustained development, increased productivity, and reduced pest damage. The options that IPM offers make sole reliance on synthetic pesticides a thing of the past. In the long term, everyone benefits through a healthier environment, improved soil health, sustainable growth for farmers, and safe food for consumers.

In IPM techniques, farmers are trained to use pesticides that are globally recommended and safe for consumption and the environment. Farmers are encouraged to use minimal or no pesticides or to apply only the pesticides required for a particular pest attack.

  • Use of globally recommended pesticides that are safe for human consumption.
  • Minimal use of pesticides or only required pesticides.
  • Use of prescribed limits for pesticides.
  • Timely use of pesticides so they don’t reach the plate.

In the present scenario, pesticide use has increased at the farm level due to a lack of education about the proper use of pesticides. Farmers may apply pesticides above the limit prescribed by the manufacturer or government, and untimely or unnecessary use increases the risk of pesticide residue levels that are unsafe for human consumption.

  • To ensure safe food reaches our plates.
  • To consume healthy and nutritious food.
  • To avoid pesticide residues in our food.
  • To trust that what we eat is safe and healthy for us and future generations.
  • To protect ourselves from unknown diseases.
  • To increase farmers’ income indirectly by using SRK IPM products.
  • Products are affordable compared to organic options.
  • Products are safer than conventional spices (high MRLs of pesticides).
  • Healthy, pesticide-free, sustainable products.
  • Limited and fresh processed supply directly to your doorstep.
  • No retailer or distributor channels involved.
  • Directly linked supply chain to your kitchen.
  • Farm-sourced, low pesticide products.
  • Farm to state-of-the-art German technology processing, and then to your plate.
  • Products processed at controlled temperatures to maintain aroma, flavor, and essential oils.
  • Safe to eat and tested products.
  • Promotion of farmers’ hard work through the publicity of IPM products.
  • Sustainable products from known and reliable farmers.
  • Support farmers in achieving their sustainable goals through our platform.

SRK Spices Pvt. Ltd. promotes IPM practices in cumin crop as the preferred approach to crop protection, regarding it as a pillar of sustainable intensification of crop production and pesticide risk reduction. IPM is being mainstreamed in our activities involving crop production and protection, especially for cumin.

SRK Spices Pvt. Ltd. has initiated a program to provide safe spices by reducing environmental damage and is currently running its IPM program for cumin crops as part of its Sustainable Agriculture Development program in Rajasthan, India. Rajasthan is the only place where IPM cumin is grown on a large scale, catering to the needs of the world.
