What is IPM?
  • IPM is an environmentally sensitive and effective
    way of pest management
  • Uses information and research found on life
    cycles of pest and how they interact with
    environment
  • Cheapest and least hazardeous

4
Basic IPM Components
  • Acceptable Pest levels
  • Also know as action threshold
  • Basically seeing a single pest, doesnt mean
    control measures must be take

5
Basic IPM components
  • Monitor and identify pest
  • One must look around and see if thee is any pest,
    not just once a month, but multiple times
  • Must be able to identify pest, some insects or
    weeds found
  • could actually be
  • helpful

6
Basic IPM components
  • Cultural Control
  • Goal of this is to make the land less favorable
    for pest
  • These could include
  • Crop rotation
  • Selecting where to plant at
  • Trap crops
  • Planting of certain less favorable plants
  • Adjusting time of harvest

7
Basic IPM components
  • Physical and Mechanical control
  • Physical barriers
  • Row covers or trenches prevent insects from
    reaching plants
  • Hand picking of pest
  • Sticky boards/tape to catch flying insects
  • Numerous other trapping techniques

8
Basic IPM components
  • Chemical control
  • Last step, if all others didnt work than resort
    to this
  • Try to use ecofriendly chemicals
  • Organic/biotanical pesticides preferred
