Abstract
Integrated pest management (IPM) offers a sustainable approach to managing green cloverworm (Hypena scabra) in soybean crops (Glycine Max). The goal is to minimize reliance on chemical pesticides while promoting an ecological balance. This plan outlines a comprehensive IPM strategy tailored for green cloverworm control in soybeans across various growth stages. Monitoring and scouting are emphasized to accurately assess pest populations. Management strategies such as cultural practices, mechanical control, biological control and chemical control are analyzed. Farmer education courses and outreach programs are applied to increase awareness, promote adoption of IPM practices, and foster collaboration among stakeholders. Along with regular monitoring, adaptive management, and continuous evaluation, all are integral components of this IPM plan, to insure its effectiveness, sustainability, and alignment with soybean production goals and environmental stewardship.
