Integrated pest management (IPM) is an approach to agricultural pest control that combines different strategies such as the use of resistant plants, crop rotation, timing of sowing, and the use of biological controls with limited insecticide use only when necessary. This approach is different from organic farming, which avoids the use of synthetic pesticides altogether. IPM aims to minimize environmental and health risks associated with pesticide use while still achieving effective pest control and maintaining crop productivity. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
