Explanation:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies aim to manage pests effectively while minimizing harm. Using beneficial insects (good bugs to kill bad bugs), removing infested plant parts (trimming infested branches), and using chemicals sparingly (only when necessary) are all IPM practices. However, never sterilizing tools can spread pests and diseases, which is not an IPM strategy.
