Explanation:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) involves monitoring pests and, when pest levels exceed acceptable limits, using control methods like biological (e.g., natural predators), cultural (e.g., crop rotation), and mechanical (e.g., traps) controls. Planting more crops or ignoring the issue are not part of IPM's proactive pest - management approach.

Answer:

utilize biological, cultural, and mechanical controls
