How Integrated Crop Protection Saves You Money

Spraying more isn’t always the answer. In fact, overusing chemicals can cost you more, harm your soil, and lead to resistance. That’s why Nova Chemicals promotes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) — a smarter way to protect your crops.


What is IPM?
IPM combines chemical, biological, and cultural methods to manage pests and diseases while reducing harm to the environment and your wallet.
