Integrated Pest Management is also known as which term?

• A. Sustainable pest control
• B. lutte raisonee
• C. Chemical pest management
• D. Biological pest management

Answer: (B)

Integrated Pest Management is a reasoned, multi-method approach to controlling pests, combining monitoring, thresholds, and a mix of biological, cultural, physical, and, when necessary, chemical methods to minimize environmental impact. The term used for this approach in French (and in several European contexts) is lutte raisonnée, meaning “reasoned pest control.” That makes this option the best match, since the question is asking for the formal name of IPM rather than a description of its goals or one of its individual tactics. The other phrases describe aspects or components of IPM (sustainability as a goal, or specific methods like biological or chemical control) but do not name the approach itself.
