Extractions: Apunte aquí para versión en Español X Integrated Pest Management (IPM) The roots of IPM can be traced to the late 1880s when "ecology" was identified as the foundation of scientific plant protection. The advent of modern synthetic insecticides in the mid 1940s resulted in a shift of focus to pesticide technology. Over the next 30 years, recognition of the limitations, and often detrimental consequences of over reliance on insecticides, led to the formulation of the concepts of IPM. In 1972, President Nixon formally committed the U.S. government to the development and promotion of IPM. In reality, pesticide-based pest control still predominates U.S. agriculture. However, biologically intensive control technologies are increasingly displacing agrochemically intensive technologies. Photograph (above): Alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). This destructive pest of alfalfa (lucerne) was accidentally established in North America on three occasions. Alfalfa weevil has been the target of classical biological control efforts since its discovery in North America more than 90 years ago. These efforts have resulted in the establishment of at least 9 exotic parasitoids and egg predators. This once devastating pest is now largely controlled in the eastern U.S. by these natural enemies.

Extractions: Davis, CA 95616 The development of synthetic pest control chemicals during and after World War II, in combination with improvements in application technology, dramatically increased the potential for farmers to control insects, pathogens, weeds and nematode pests. Pest control researchers, government agencies, and the agricultural industry overwhelmingly embraced and perfected the technology. California growers were no exception. The rapid expansion of California's agriculture and its ability to produce a variety of high value fruits and vegetables made pesticides an important and economical way of reducing production risks and increasing yields. It did not take long for problems associated with the chemical pests controls to be observed. Insects, formerly under natural control by predators and parasites, began to cause significant damage. The insects themselves became genetically resistant to chemicals applied for their control, and actually caused greater damage in some cases after being released from the action of their natural enemies and competitors. These phenomena were eventually observed among other categories of pests as well. Agricultural workers began to report illnesses from exposure in the workplace. The impact of pesticides on the environment became established, and was brought to national attention by Rachel Carson's book
Extractions: What is IPM? ... For more information What is IPM? Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. The IPM approach can be applied to both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, such as the home, garden, and workplace. IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options including, but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides. In contrast, organic food production applies many of the same concepts as IPM but limits the use of pesticides to those that are produced from natural sources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals.

IPM Strategy The control tactics used in integrated pest management include pest To estimatethe severity of pest infestations, the crop or garden must be sampled. http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/biocontrol/info/ipmstrat.html
Extractions: The management of insect pests rarely relies on a single control practice; usually a variety of tactics are integrated to maintain pests at acceptable levels. The goal of integrated pest management is not to eliminate all pests; some pests are tolerable and essential so that their natural enemies remain in the crop. Rather, the aim is to reduce pest populations to less than damaging numbers. The control tactics used in integrated pest management include pest resistant or tolerant plants, and cultural, physical, mechanical, biological, and chemical control. Applying multiple control tactics minimizes the chance that insects will adapt to any one tactic. The definition for integrated pest management most relevant to this guide comes from Flint and van den Bosch (1981): "An ecologically based pest control strategy that relies heavily on natural mortality factors and seeks out control tactics that disrupt these factors as little as possible. Integrated pest management requires an understanding of the ecology of the cropping system, including that of the pests, their natural enemies, and the surrounding environment. As discussed previously, knowledge about the ecological interrelationships between insects and their environment is critical to effective pest management. This guide emphasizes interrelationships between pest species and their natural enemies.

Refer to the latest issue of the North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals Manual or ask your county Extension agent for suggestions. 1 Integrated Pest Management What is IPM? What is integrated pest management (IPM), and how can it help me produce alfalfa? These are logical questions often asked by growers when IPM is discussed. Integrated pest management is a systematic way of controlling pests that combines tried and true pest control methods with new approaches. The purpose of IPM is to help growers produce crops more profitably by (1) using all proven methods of lowering pest levels (rather than relying solely on chemicals), (2) using pesticides according to need, and (3) helping growers consider all aspects of pesticide use. Pests can lower crop yield, quality, and profits. Profits may also be lost when money is spent unnecessarily to control pests. To avoid unnecessary expenses, pest levels must be determined in each field and the potential damage compared to the cost of control. The economic threshold is the point where the predicted cost of pest damage to a crop is higher than the cost of treatment for the pest.

Now researchers are trialling an integrated pest management strategy that could allow cotton to be grown there again. Printer-friendly version of complete topic Just as there is more than one way to skin a cat, fry an egg or eat an ice-cream, there are many ways to beat agricultural pests. Combining different pest control strategies is the basis of integrated pest management ( Box 1 In part, the development of integrated pest management (IPM) is a response to the failure of many chemical pesticides to provide long-term solutions to pest problems. While some pesticides have dramatic effects when first applied, many pests develop resistance Pest resistance in the Ord When large plantations of cotton were established in Western Australia's Ord River valley in the 1960s, the caterpillars (larvae) of two species of heliothis moth moved in. These destructive pests were controlled initially by pesticides, but, pretty soon, they started developing resistance. Farmers kept increasing the dosage, but they were fighting a losing battle. Eventually, as landholders went broke, switched to other crops or simply abandoned their properties, the industry collapsed. Now, 25 years later, researchers are trialling an integrated pest management strategy to see if commercial cotton can again be grown in the Ord River valley. Many elements of the strategy were first developed in the Namoi Valley in New South Wales, another cotton-growing area. The strategy includes:

Extractions: of Science Sponsored by Printer-friendly version of complete topic Integrated pest management involves the integrated use of four basic control techniques. Physical controls Physical controls are those that can be carried out by the farmer to alter environmental factors in a way that reduces pest populations. A simple and common example of this is crop rotation , which is the practice of planting different crops each year in a given paddock. This interrupts the normal life cycle of some pests by changing their environment to one in which their favourite host plant does not feature. It is a strategy that has been used successfully for years by Australian gardeners against tomato nematodes. Another physical control method sometimes called 'mating disruption' involves the use of sex pheromones Biological control pathogens . By introducing or encouraging such enemies, the population of pest organisms should decline. It is not a new concept. The ancient Chinese encouraged ants in citrus orchards because they attacked many citrus pests. There are three general approaches to biological pest control. The first of these is
