IPM pest surveillance activities include which of the following?

Integrated pest management pest surveillance is about collecting information to guide decisions: you track how many pests are present and where they occur, monitor the environmental and ecological factors that influence pest breeding, and assess how well control measures are working using predefined thresholds to decide when to intervene. Each element supports timely, targeted action: counting and sizing populations shows pest pressure, noting conditions that favor breeding helps predict outbreaks and plan prevention, and evaluating control outcomes plus signaling to the pest management coordinator when thresholds are exceeded ensures coordinated, effective responses. Because all these aspects are part of monitoring and guiding management, all of the above activities belong to pest surveillance.
