In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore and revitalize the land while improving crop yields and overall farm profitability. This means increased crop yields and reduced inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.

Farmers widely use pesticides for controlling pest populations and diseases in agricultural production systems. However, resistance to pesticides is a significant problem in agriculture, resulting in lower crop yields and increased pesticide use, which can have negative environmental and health impacts.

Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.

Rather than relying on chemical pesticides, IPM utilizes a combination of techniques to prevent and mitigate pest infestations. For example, rather than applying a broad-spectrum pesticide that may harm beneficial insects , a pest control professional may use a specific type of bait or trap to target the pest species.

This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. As weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, it's more challenging to plan crop rotations, planting, irrigation, and other tasks that depend heavily on the weather.
