IPM is an initialism standing for a multi-word technical term rather than a word built from productive English morphemes, so its meaning cannot be derived from the letter components.
Etymology
IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management, where Integrated means 'combined', Pest means 'harmful insect or animal', and Management means 'control' or 'care'. Think of IPM as a smart toolbox of methods used together to reduce pests and protect people and the environment, so it aims to lower harm from pesticides.
