      In recent years, the agricultural industry has faced mounting challenges in pest control due to the widespread use of chemical pesticides. These conventional methods, while effective in the short term, have led to unintended consequences, including the decline of pollinator populations and negative impacts on their ecosystems. To address these concerns, Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management (IPPM) has emerged as a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture. The first scientific book of its kind, Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management, explores the delicate balance of agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. It delves into the intertwined relationship between pests and pollinators, offering practical strategies for managing pests while safeguarding the well-being of vital pollinators. Drawing on cutting-edge research and practical case studies, Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management outlines the principles and methodologies of IPPM and introduces innovative techniques such as biological control, crop rotation, habitat manipulation, and the use of pest-resistant crop varieties. From stakeholders in agricultural systems to researchers and students working in the field, Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management is a must-have resource.
