To show farmers what can be done to manage pest populations and ensure sustainable and productive crops, the National Rural Learning Service (SENAR) and Embrapa have prepared a technical video on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The video shows that combating these pests and preventing them from causing major damage is possible without using only new agricultural pesticides or cutting-edge technologies. The most important thing for protecting crops, experts point out, is correct management. The material draws attention to the phenomenon known as biotic resistance, that is, the importance of a healthy environment that offers resistance to the emergence and proliferation of organisms that cause population imbalances in species.
