Extractions: Maintain a slightly acid soil (around pH 6.5). If in doubt, have a soil analysis done through your local Extension office, by a private lab, or with a commercial soil test kit. Lime can be used to increase soil pH and sulfur can lower it. Maintain adequate levels of soil fertility through additions of potassium and phosphorus releasing materials, such as commercial fertilizers or animal manures. Soil testing should be done every three years to determine levels of these important nutrients. Build a biologically active, healthy soil through regular addition of organic matter, such as yard waste, compost, and manure. For planting areas not being cropped, grow annual cover crops, such as clover or rye grass, to provide additional organic matter. Till the soil in the fall to expose pests living near the surface to natural enemies and weather, and to destroy insects overwintering in crop residues.

Crops/Pests I ntegrated P est M anagement (IPM) is a pest management system designed to provide long-term management of pests,instead of temporarily eradicating them. It is the coordinated use of pest and environmental information with available pest control methods to prevent unacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. The main goal of IPM is to manage pests and the environment so as to balance costs, benefits, public health, and environmental quality. IPM systems use all available technical information on the pest and its interactions with the environment. IPM, is an ecological approach to suppressing pest populations in which all available necessary techniques are utilized in a unified program, so that pests are kept at acceptable levels in effective, economical and environmentally friendly ways. Because pest problems are often symptomatic of ecological imbalances, the goal is to attempt to plan and manage ecosystems to prevent organisms from becoming pests.
Integrated Pest Management For Greenhouse Crops This publication covers integrated pest management for vegetable and ornamental greenhouse crops, discussing monitoring, sanitation, biological controls, http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/gh-ipm.html
Extractions: Appendix III: Biorational Pesticides This publication covers IPM for greenhouse crops, both vegetable and ornamental. Monitoring, sanitation, biological controls, biorational pesticides, insect growth regulators, and disease control methods are discussed. Tables include information on the newest biorational pesticides and biological control organisms. Go To Top Insects and diseases are a major challenge to greenhouse production. IPM is an important tool in the management of these pests. The primary goal of IPM is to optimize pest control in an economically and ecologically sound way. IPM involves the integration of cultural, physical, biological, and chemical practices to grow crops with minimal use of pesticides. Monitoring, sampling, and record keeping are used to determine when control options are needed to keep pests below an economically damaging threshold. Pest management, not eradication, is the goal of IPM.

ERS Publications - Adoption of genetically engineered crops with traits for pest management has risen dramatically since their commercial introduction in the mid1990 s. http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/aer786/
Extractions: Agricultural Economics Report No. (AER786) 28 pp, May 2000 Adoption of genetically engineered crops with traits for pest management has risen dramatically since their commercial introduction in the mid-1990's. The farm-level impacts of such crops on pesticide use, yields, and net returns vary with the crop and technology examined. Adoption of herbicide-tolerant cotton led to significant increases in yields and net returns, but was not associated with significant changes in herbicide use. On the other hand, increases in adoption of herbicide-tolerant soybeans led to small but significant increases in yields, no changes in net returns, and significant decreases in herbicide use. Adoption of Bt cotton in the Southeast significantly increased yields and net returns and significantly reduced insecticide use.

Extractions: Agricultural Handbook No. (AH717) 84 pp, October 1999 This report describes the use of pest management practices, including integrated pest management (IPM), for major field crops and selected fruits and vegetables. The data came chiefly from the 1996 Agricultural Resource Management Study (ARMS) developed by USDA. Because different pest classes may dominate among different crops and regions, requiring different pest management techniques to control them, the extent of adoption of pest management practices varies widely. For example, insects are a major pest class in cotton production, while minor for soybeans. As insect management has a wider variety of nonchemical techniques than weed control, cotton growers are expected to be further ahead on the IPM continuum than soybean producers.

Extractions: non-profit purposes. Credit must be given to "Ohio State University Extension." Field crops pest management circulars are designed to provide information on the biology and assessment of pest populations affecting Ohio field crops. In regard to pest population assessment, these circulars provide specific guidelines on field sampling and data interpretation to facilitate effective pest management decision making. The pest management circulars do not include recommendations on current pesticide treatment available, since such information is provided in Ohio State University (OSU) Extension Bulletin No. 545 ( Insect Pests of Field Crops ), OSU Extension Bulletin No. 827 ( Corn and Soybean Field Guide ), and Info-Bug software generated fact sheets, which are updated periodically. The series also includes circulars reviewing concepts and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) on key field crops of Ohio, namely field corn, soybeans, and alfalfa.

Extractions: FAX 614-292-1687 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the practice of integrating methods (chemical, cultural, biological, genetic, etc.) and disciplines (entomology, plant pathology, weed science, etc.) into a systematic approach to pest management decision making. IPM targets optimization of net return in crop production while minimizing environmental impact. As a management practice, IPM decision making is based on information collected from the field in a systematic manner. As a result, IPM depends on field monitoring of pest populations and crop development which is often referred to as field scouting. Application of IPM procedures to soybean production may be executed by (1) growers scouting fields themselves, (2) contracting the services of a field scout or consultant, or (3) commercial ag service personnel including field scouting as part of their service to clients. IPM decision making may be done by anyone if procedures are clearly understood and field information is collected and recorded in an accurate and timely manner. An IPM program applied to soybeans may include one or more of the following features: Early detection and identification of weeds that may influence the selection and application of post-emergence herbicides.
Georgia Integrated Pest Management Extensive information on pests found in Georgia and IPM for apiculture, livestock and poultry, and field and horticultural crops (including canola, cotton, tobacco, pecans, soybeans, peanuts, and grains). http://www.gaipm.org/
Extractions: This bulletin is divided into three sections - disease and nematode control, insect control, and weed control. The recommendations are listed according to crop and then pest. In the table of recommendations given under each crop, the pesticide recommendations are given in units (pints, pounds, and so forth) of commercial products. In most cases, the amount of active ingredient to be applied is given. This information will be useful if the pesticide is commercially available at different concentrations. If a pesticide concentration differs from that recommended, determine the amount of a given formulation you need to use to apply the pesticide at the recommended rate. For example, if the recommended rate is 1 pound of active ingredient, then you should use 2 pounds of a 50 percent, wettable-powder formulation. If the formulation is a liquid, you must know the pounds of active ingredient per gallon to make this calculation. To the best of our knowledge, all recommended rates in this publication are in accordance with those on the product labels. However, if there is disagreement between recommendations in this bulletin and what is stated on the label, always follow the label directions.
