Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to crop protection that combines cultural, biological, and chemical control methods to manage pests while minimizing environmental and health risks. This review highlights recent advancements in IPM over the past five years, focusing on key components such as cultural practices, biological control, and targeted pesticide application. The review emphasizes the importance of genetic control, conservation biological control, and the development of novel biopesticides, including microbial agents and plant-derived compounds. Recent progress in targeted pesticide delivery systems, such as nanoemulsions and controlled-release formulations, has minimized environmental impact while maintaining efficacy. The review also analyzes the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of IPM, showcasing its potential to promote biodiversity conservation and ensure food safety. Case studies from various agroecological contexts demonstrate the successful implementation of IPM programs, highlighting the importance of participatory approaches and effective knowledge exchange among stakeholders. The review identifies challenges and opportunities for the widespread adoption of IPM, including the need for transdisciplinary research, capacity building, and policy support. IPM is essential for achieving sustainable intensification of agriculture, optimizing crop production while minimizing adverse environmental impacts and enhancing the resilience of agricultural systems to global challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. The review also discusses the components of IPM, including prevention and cultural control methods, monitoring and decision-making, biological control, and chemical control. Recent advancements in selective and targeted pesticide use, resistance management, biopesticides, and nanotechnology have further enhanced the effectiveness and sustainability of IPM. The review concludes that IPM offers a holistic approach to pest management that promotes environmental, economic, and social sustainability in agriculture.Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to crop protection that combines cultural, biological, and chemical control methods to manage pests while minimizing environmental and health risks.
