ALTERNATIVE CONTROL MEASURES FOR PESTS OF SHADE TREES AND WOODY ORNAMENTALS IN THE HOME LANDSCAPE
by Lee Townsend, Extension Entomologist
University of Kentucky Department of Entomology
Feeding by insects and mites can reduce the aesthetic beauty of landscape trees and woody ornamentals. In some cases, plants can be severely weaken or killed, damage by other pests can cause aesthetic injury. When damaging pests are present, the application of appropriate control measures can help to reduce damage while having little impact on beneficial species and posing minimum risk to humans and pets. This factsheet covers alternative control measures that are available. Any pesticide must be used according to label directions, it can cause harm if not used properly.
Pesticide Labels Have Answers It is important to be able to read and understand pesticide labels before buying and using them. Be sure that both the plants that you intend to treat and the target pests that you want to control are on the label. Often, the brand name of a product does not tell you much about it. Know how to find the common name of the active ingredient so you can be sure to get what you need. The Directions For Use section of the label also gives valuable information that will allow you to achieve optimum results. Be sure to look for warnings about phytotoxicity. Some plant species or varieties are very sensitive to certain pesticides or are susceptible to leaf or needle discoloration under certain conditions. Also, the label tells you the type of protective clothing to wear and the rates to use when mixing the product.

    Last Web Update:
    December 1997 (DBL) Low-input sustainable agriculture (LISA) continues to attract much attention at all levels of United States agriculture. Much of the current debate about the nature and potential of LISA centers around definitions. There is no universally accepted definition of LISA. This is to be expected in view of the various interpretations of low input and sustainable. Some people consider sustainable agriculture to be a philosophy, whereas others say it provides guidelines for choosing practices. Still others view it as a management strategy. As a result, the concepts of LISA range from organic farming at one end of the spectrum to maximum economic returns on the other.

    Sustainable Agriculture A sustainable agriculture is economically profitable, environmentally sound, and socially viable for the long term. Many of the links listed at the end of this page deal directly with defining sustainable agriculture in more detail. This page focuses on the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products that are grown or sold in non-conventional ways. Examples include various methods of direct marketing, on-farm or cooperative processing, and organic food and feed. Below are brief descriptions of CARI projects, programs and resources that fall under the umbrella of sustainable agriculture. Click on each to go to that item's page.
