Why isn’t IPM Popular after 50 years?
- Integrated Pest Management
- Observational Pest Management Observational Biology Bobby Corrigan
- Assessment Based Pest Management Dini S. Miller
Our internal Is Biological Pest Management
All these terms are industry terms, that not even the industry technicians understand nor embrace.
Changing the term from integrated to observational to assessment does not change anything practical from the consumer.
Academia seeks to educate the student base.
Government seeks get compliance.
None of the terms are marketable.
Pest Management is a correct term; however, it is contrary to common sense.
The one that is the most important person to educate and influence Is the customer.
The industry is not interested in educating the customer on IPM.
To make it popular you have to create a demand for it.
