IPM is a broader approach to pest management... whereby multiple (typically organic, but not always) methods are combined and, when applicable, used for their symbiotic and often synergistic effect. (IE Neem Oil and nemtodes and ladybugs and say, Amblyseius cucumeris. Basically, the idea is to block pests and pathogens from ever entering and to make plants resistant to them. And in doing that not only protect them but actually build their immunity to pests and disease. (Note: PH of soil and water, pests, and disease are basically inseperable co-functions)
