Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a system approach that combines a wide array of crop production and protection practices to
minimize the economic losses caused by the pests (insect pests, diseases, nematodes, weeds, rodents, birds etc.). It emphasizes on careful monitoring of pests and conservation of their natural enemies. NCIPM has made a modest beginning in achieving the goals of IPM and is now making essential and pragmatic efforts to develop computer based programs for storage and retrieval of information on different aspects of IPM.
Research programmes have been formulated for number of crops for promoting environmentally sound IPM technologies. Centre is striving for effective co-operation with All India Coordinated Crop Improvement Programmes; Crop Research Institutes; SAUs; DST; Environment and Bio technology Departments of GOI; National Remote Sensing Agency; IMD; NIC and DPPQ&S; NGOs and Industries for implementation of its programmes. 
ARIS cell of centre is equipped with latest computer hardware and software to cater to the need for scientific work. All the computers in the centre are interlinked with LAN. The computer cell is engaged in development of user friendly software to popularize IPM. NCIPM has its own Web Server and Mail Server located in ARIS Cell which is being regularly updated and maintained. A number of databases are also hosted and maintained by ARIS Cell. 
The diagnostic lab of the centre is engaged in pragmatic approach for mass production of bio-agents (Trichogramma chilonis. T. japonicum and Chrysoperla carnea). It is substantially able to meet the requirement of bio-agents needed for the IPM validation programmes of the centre. Further to it training programmes are being conducted to encourage entrepreneurs to come forward for making bio-agents available locally to the farmers. This will help in removing one of the bottlenecks of timely and local of quality bio-agents.
