@ Hem, integrated insect-pest management is important because it maintains the national crop ecosystem balance and contributes to food and water safety, as reducing the amount of pesticides used in turn reduces residues in food, feed and fiber, and environment.

Integrated insect-pest management has worked to advance environmentally friendly agricultural practises and aggressively cut back on the usage of synthetic pesticides, resolving a variety of issues pertaining to society's economy, the environment, and public health.

First of All, Biological Control is more preferable then Chemical Control, Second Integrated pest management is a technique which you can't use your own....

If a Single farmer is using this technique and others are not then his crop will suffer the most as it becomes susceptible to insects.

Therefore it is mandatory for all Farmers to Use IPM. Further it helps to manage a Natural predator and prey balance in the ecosystem, low Cost and health conscious.

Indiscriminate use of synthetic chemical insecticides and climate change create severe problems to beneficial insects and residual problem in food material. To maintain the sustainability in aggro-ecosystem and agriculture sustainability IPM is must.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a system of protecting crops that meets the requirements of sustainable development by allowing farmers to manage pests in a way that is cost-effective, environmentally sound and suitable to adopt under local conditions. Climate change has already impacted insect pest species in many ways, including driving shifts in distribution pole ward and towards higher elevations causing shifts in spring phenology and increasing the number of annual generations by accelerating their development and lengthening. IPM contributes to food and water safety, as reducing the amount of pesticides used in turn reduces residues in food, feed and fiber, and environment. Enhances ecosystem services and seeks to maintain the national crop ecosystem balance. With IPM, only need to reduce pest numbers below a damaging level. It is not necessary to eliminate all pests. IPM helps decrease the need for chemical pesticides. This reduces costs and environmental risks. One way that insects cope with climate change is by shifting their range, or permanently relocating to places with lower temperatures the ranges of nearly half of all insect species will diminish by 50% or more if the planet heats up 3.2°C. Temperature rise directly affects pest's reproduction, survival, spread and population dynamics as well as the relationships between pests, the environment, and natural enemies. However, when temperatures and precipitation levels get too high, this can slow the growth and reproduction of some pest species and destroy them by washing their eggs and larvae off the host plant. Increased temperatures will also increase the pest population, and water stressed plants at times may result in increased insect populations and pest outbreaks. This will affect the crop yield and availability of food grains and threaten food security. A typical effect of elevated temperature is therefore to increase consumption rates and therefore decrease the time to pupation, making them less apparent to natural enemies and in some cases increasing the potential number of generations per season. IPM emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanisms. IPM is a flexible approach which makes the best use of all available technologies to manage pest problems effectively and safely. IPM reduces hazards by reducing overall pesticide use, using least hazardous pesticides when there is a demonstrated need, and taking special protective measures to reduce pesticide exposure living organisms and the environment. IPM is intended to reduce ecological and health damage from chemical pesticides by using natural parasites and predators to control pest populations. Since chemical pesticides are expensive for poor farmers, IPM offers the prospect of lower production costs and higher profitability.
