It  Should be the next main mandate of the IPM schemes working in research and extension sides  both at central and state level for which Govt must establish the industries of the producing the IPM inputs parallel with production of the chemical  pesticides industries .lt should be the second mandate of the IPM  programmes .The restoration of the damaged ecosystem and conservation of the natural resources must also be given priority though Ecological Engineering and programmes for the  conservation of beneficial fauna and flora in the ecosystem.
