Efforts and Experiences of Private Sector in promotion of IPM in India

C. S. Pawar and A.S. Indulkar, ICPA India

Agro-industries are business enterprises working for profit. Return on investment made by a person, family, group or by public is essential for growth and survival of the industries. This drive is strong in industries in private sector than in public sector, as nobody can bail out the former for any loss. Industries always look for opportunities to increase their turnovers and profits. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been a good opportunity for growth and sustenance of agro-industries that work with some principles and believe in improving human life.
