Integrated Pest Management (IPM) provides a comprehensive approach to managing pests in herb cultivation by combining various strategies, including cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods. Regular monitoring is emphasized to catch pest issues early, allowing for easier management. Herbs thrive in well-drained media with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 and generally prefer drier conditions to prevent diseases. However, certain herbs like basil and parsley require more moisture. The book also addresses the challenge of determining pest thresholds on ornamental plants.
