• The foundation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is prevention, achieved by maintaining a meticulously clean cultivation environment.

Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and all regulatory requirements

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment while adhering to all safety protocols
