INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)
VIRGINIA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
5
Objectives
  • To introduce IPM and its components
  • To present possible applications of IPM

6
IPM
  • The judicious use and integration of various
    pests control tactics.

7
WHY IPM?
  • Resistance
  • Pest resurgence
  • Induced secondary pest outbreaks
  • Potential hazards to wildlife
  • Environmental and groundwater contamination

8
MANAGE PESTS RATHER THAN ELIMINATE THEM

9
COMPONENTS
  • Monitoring
  • Establishing injury levels
  • Planning for integrating all controls
  • Evaluating results (record keeping)

10
MONITOR PEST POPULATIONS

11
MONITORING
  • Signs symptoms
  • Pest life cycles
  • Growing degree days

12
Growing Degree Days
  • Average daily temperature

13
ESTABLISH ACCEPTABLE INJURYLEVEL

14
INJURY LEVELS
  • Aesthetic
  • Appearance
  • Economic
  • Plant replacement
  • Loss of crop

15
PLAN FOR CONTROL
16
CONTROL TACTICS
  • Cultural
  • Physical Mechanical
  • Natural or biological
  • Chemical

17
CULTURAL CONTROLS
  • Sanitation
  • Healthy pest-free plants
  • Rogue out problem plants
  • Pruning
  • Soil and water management
  • Weed control

18
PHYSICAL MECHANICALCONTROLS
  • Hand picking pests
  • Traps
  • Crop isolation
  • Destroy alternate host
  • Barriers, screens, cloths

19
NATURAL CONTROLS

20
NATURAL CONTROLS
  • Predators
  • Parasites
  • Pest-specific diseases

21
CHEMICAL CONTROLS

22
SIGNAL WORDS
CAUTION SLIGHTLY TOXIC WARNING MODERATELY
TOXIC DANGER HIGHLY TOXIC
23
EVALUATION
  • Determine program effectiveness
  • What works?
  • What doesnt work?
  • How much chemical is being used?
  • Are chemicals being reduced?
  • How should program be adjusted

24
KEEP RECORDSFORFUTURE USE

25
So What?
  • What does IPM mean to you as a farmer in
    Southeastern VA??

26
  • Peanut Leaf Spot Advisory
  • Reduces Fungicide application
  • Saves millions of dollars
  • Very easy to implement

27
  • Development of Fluazinam for fungus control in
    peanuts
  • Controls sclerotinia blight
  • Less harmful to environment
  • Saves estimated 6 million
  • Reduces fungicide use

28
  • Frost advisory for peanuts
  • Reduces loss to frost
  • Determines proper time for harvest
  • Keep records for future reference

29
  • Scouting for thrips in peanuts and cotton
  • Reduces insecticide use by spraying at threshold
    levels only
  • Saves

30
  • Scouting cotton for worms and growth patterns
  • Saves tremendous time and
  • Reduces harmful pyrethroid sprays
  • Maximize yields

31
Conclusions
  • IPM is the wave of the future in agricultural
    pest control
  • IPM is easy to implement using common sense and a
    little planning
  • IPM is especially applicable in the pesticide
    dependent crops we grow in this area
