What "Integrated Pest
Management" Means. Age-old, common-sense practices are what
many people associate with IPM. Today many
growers no longer apply pesticides to food
on a regular basis regardless of whether or
not there are insects, weeds, or other pest
problems. In some parts of the country, food
is being marketed as IPM food.

Environmental Protection Agency "Organically grown" food is
food grown and processed using no synthetic
fertilizers or pesticides. Pesticides
derived from natural sources (e.g.,
biological pesticides) may also be used in
producing organically grown food.
Increasingly, some consumers are purchasing
organically grown and processed foods as a
way to reduce their exposure to synthetic
pesticides and fertilizers. Many
supermarkets now stock organic products for
their consumers. Ask your grocer about
organic food and its availability at your
store."
