Combining scientific research with practical knowledge to optimize production and crop quality while maintaining environmental integrity is ____ ?

A	Best Management Practices (BMP)
B	Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a science-based decision-making process that combines tools and strategies to identify and manage pests. As defined in 7 U.S.C.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary objective in Ecological engineering is to make environment of the Agro-ecosystem suitable for the better survival of natural enemies of pests. Habitat manipulation aims to provide natural enemies of pests with nectar, pollen, physical refuge, alternate prey, alternate hosts and living sites.

Detailed explanation-3: -IPM is thus ecologically-based pest management that makes full use of natural and cultural processes and methods, including host resistance and biological control. IPM emphasises the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption of agro-ecosystems, thereby encouraging natural pest control mechanisms.
