For Immediate Release: July 2003 CAST Report on Integrated Pest Management Sets Out a Safer Future for Everyone July 2003 . . .Washington, D.C. . . . The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) is releasing Integrated Pest Management: Current and Future Strategies , a report that offers a comprehensive, insightful, and up-to-date analysis of the issues involved in pest control. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is about making informed choices that impact positively on crops, animals, and the environment, as well as on society. The CAST report is designed to offer policymakers, opinion makers, and educators an informed overview of the changing nature of these choices in the twenty-first century. This new report sets out the scientific, environmental, and political contexts in which IPM has developed over the last two decades. The document represents a thorough reevaluation of this approach to pest management, which was addressed in an earlier CAST report on the same topic in 1982. “Many of the technologies that now impact IPM simply did not exist two decades ago,” the report’s chair, Dr. Kenneth R. Barker, North Carolina State University, explains. “In preparing this latest assessment, the successful integration of these new and improved tools was considered a critical priority. The authors also stress that the concept of IPM has extended beyond crops, animals, and rangelands to include homes, businesses, schools, and other public buildings. It is a topic that directly affects most citizens.” Dr. Barker led the multidisciplinary task force of 20 academic contributors who examined the availability of these new pest management tools and considered how integrated approaches will maximize their benefits.

Weeds Useful Literature Footnotes Integrated Pest Management for Florida Snap Beans Ken Pernezny, Gregg Nuessly, and William Stall Integrated pest management (IPM) is a pest control strategy that uses a multitude of techniques to bring about effective, economic control of diseases, insects nematodes, and weeds in Florida snap bean fields. These techniques incude cultural methods, resistant varieties, biological control, and use of chemicals. The development of the IPM recommendations presented here began in the fall of 1978 in response to the needs of the south Florida snap bean industry and to improve reliability of the tomato IPM program by conserving beneficial organisms in adjoining vegetable fields. So far, recommendations have been made primarily for bush-type snap beans; however, research at the Homestead TREC suggests that the same principles apply to pole-type beans.

CHEMTECH March 1998 CHEMTECH Integrated pest management using pheromones These compounds can be used in many ways to reduce the amount of conventional pesticide applied to crops. Pheromones can be used to determine how many pests are present, to lure the pests into traps, and to confuse the pests so they do not reproduce. Arnon Shani I ntensified pest control seems to be the best way to feed the world's growing population, from both political and social viewpoints (see sidbar, The problem: Providing food for a growing population Of course, it would be a mistake to overlook the benefits of pesticides. During the past few decades, pesticide use has increased agricultural outputs worldwide. Yet in percentage terms, crop losses have remained unchanged since the 1950s ( TO SIDEBAR: The problem: Providing food... In response to the problems caused by the increased use of conventional pesticides, the concept of integrated pest management (IPM) was developed. IPM combines chemical, biological, and agrotechnical approaches to achieve pest control at a reasonable cost while minimizing damage to the environment. It is important to note that, in the case of agricultural exports, nothing less than total eradication of pests is required to prevent the transfer of agricultural pests between countries. The first step in IPM is effective monitoring using pheromones. The pest is located, and its diffusion in the field or orchard is determined. Next, the best method is selected for the given situation. Biological and biologically derived pest control methods exploit the known natural enemies of pests and parasites but do not attack harmless insects; two examples are bacteria (such as

The Delicate Balance: Environment, Economics, Development LESTER E. EHLER DALE G. BOTTRELL The Illusion of Integrated Pest Management Despite three decades of research, there is very little "I" in IPM. It's time to start over with an achievable goal. In 1993, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called for a national commitment to implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) on 75 percent of U. S. crop acreage by the year 2000. The next year, USDA announced its IPM Initiative to embrace this commitment. Seven years have passed, and farm practices have changed very little. Indeed, the only significant change is that we know less than what we thought we knew about what IPM is. Revisiting what we mean by IPM will help us understand what went wrong with the initiative. USDA and EPA struggled to come up with a workable definition of IPM and a suitable way to assess its level of adoption. This is not surprising, given the apparent confusion among policymakers as to what IPM is all about. The most recent attempt came in October 1998, when USDA announced that a given farm should have in place a management strategy for "prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression" (PAMS) of pests. To qualify as IPM under these guidelines, a farmer must use tactics in at least three PAMS components. USDA defines "prevention" as the practice of keeping a pest population from ever infesting a crop. "Avoidance" may be practiced when pest populations exist in a field, but their impact on the crop can be avoided by some cultural practice. "Monitoring" refers to regular scouting of the crop to determine the need for suppressive actions. "Suppression" is used where prevention and avoidance have failed and will typically mean application of a chemical pesticide.

If bare patches appearedin last year s canola crop, then the time to assess the problem was last http://www.grdc.com.au/growers/cd/south/southern_region05012.htm

Southern region: 24 March 2005 Important role of nature in integrated pest management Growers with broadacre cropping systems under threat from insect pests and slugs need to learn more about their enemy's enemy. Dr Paul Horne has been making this point at GRDC Grower Updates across Australia: insect pests do not occur on their own – there's always an entourage of associated organisms, some beneficial, others not. If you know what's there, you can choose a control strategy more wisely. Dr Horne is an advocate of integrated pest management. The cotton industry has moved that way with an associated reduction in the use of chemicals, he argues, and the horticultural industries have long since been forced down that road as developing insect resistance eliminated many chemical controls. The key to integrated pest management is knowing what's in the paddock beside the pests. Hot on the heels of the shift to minimum tillage and stubble retention in broadacre cropping came new pests like slugs, false wireworms and earwigs. Dr Horne says that the broad brush chemical approach to controlling them favours the development of new pests. A broad-spectrum insecticide aimed at a caterpillar pest such as diamondback moth in canola can lead to an increase in aphids. Target mites and aphids with non-selective insecticides and the result can be an increase in the number of slugs, false wireworms and earwigs. The chemical aimed at controlling one pest can knock out the natural predators of another pest, upsetting the balance.

106. Globalizing Integrated Pest Management As a result integrated pest management (IPM) approaches have been developed Field Crop pests. University of Tennessee Contract AID/nesa; Heinrichs, EA, http://store.blackwell-professional.com/0813804906.html

By George W. Norton, EA Heinrichs, Gregory C Luther, Michael E Irwin As food demand has grown worldwide, agricultural production has intensified with a concomitant expansion in pesticide use. Concerns over pesticide-induced health and environmental problems, increased pest resistance to pesticides, and continued losses due to pests, have stimulated the search for alternative pest management solutions. As a result integrated pest management (IPM) approaches have been developed and applied that rely on genetic, cultural, biological and information-intensive pest management alternatives. This book presents and critiques the participatory approaches that can be used to globalize IPM. It describes the development, deployment and evaluation of participatory IPM. All the chapters include perspectives from both the US and developing country scientists who are on the front lines of IPM generation and diffusion. The book is unique amongst IPM books in that it stresses policy analysis, social and economic impact assessment, multidisciplinary field research and technology transfer mechanisms.

THE HISTORY OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) Courtesy of the International Pest Management Institute. Currie Enterprises You did not weave the web of life, you are merely a strand in it. Whatever you do to the web, you do to yourself. You may think you own the land. You do not. It is God's. The earth is precious to God and to harm the earth is to heap contempt upon its creator. - Chief Seattle (1854) T he basic biological concepts of Integrated Pest Management have been practiced for years and the philosophical concepts are intertwined in the practice of IPM. A bout the time humans started aggregating into villages and began planting selected food crops in clusters near rivers in fertile valleys, pests became an increasing challenge. They had to live with the ravages of pests of all types that attacked them and their crops. Through trial and error, humans began to learn how to improve conditions and control the environment. People learned to perform cultural and physical control practices for crop protection. Methods such as destroying or using crop refuse, roughing diseased plants, tillage to expose an eliminate soil insects, removal of alternate hosts off pathogens and insects, timing of planting, crop rotation, trap crops, determining optimum planting sites, pruning, dusting with sulphur, and others reduced damage potential to many crops from many pests. These cultural and physical control methods are still viable today. T H I n the late 1960's, a movement to develop more environmentally benign crop protection methods began. Although economics was the prime driver to use crop scouting to determine spray schedules, it was a first real step toward an IPM approach. It wasn't long before some scouting approaches started noticing increased numbers of parasites and predators when sprays were delayed or eliminated. In the 1970's, researchers began to identify and develop crop protection systems that integrated many of measures to reduce pest populations to levels below damaging levels requiring pesticides. In the 1980's, some pioneering advocates of IPM began applying IPM principles an practices to urban sites. Since that time, IPM systems have been developed for several urban sites such as schools, parks, hospitals, and nursing homes.

Pest Management at the Crossroads USDA Integrated Pest Management Seminar Series February 28, 1997, Washington, D.C. Presented By Charles M. Benbrook In June 1993, the Clinton Administration pledged to work with farmers to get 75 percent of the nation's crop acres under IPM by the year 2000. Now just three years away, much remains to be done and the route ahead is not so clear. Indeed, pest management is at a crossroads. Hence it's a good time to dust off the compass and recheck the map. Important choices are being made, one field and one orchard at a time, and in government and corporate board rooms. These choices, and the direction they take us, will have major long-run consequences for farmers, consumers, the competitiveness of U.S. agriculture, and the environment. Only one thing is certain – most pests will find ways to survive, and a few will thrive, regardless of what we do. Some people are confident they will be able to move through the pest management crossroads without the need to make major changes in farming or pest control systems. They pin their hopes largely on the commercialization of another generation of broad-spectrum pesticides that will work under a variety of conditions for long enough to assure acceptable levels of control. They also expect and hope that scientists and engineers will deliver tools that make pest management simpler, less labor-intensive and more reliable. They see promise in applying the tools of precision farming to pest management, and the prospect of transgenic plants, manufacturing their own pesticides, is close to a dream come true.

Renaming (Redefining) Integrated Pest Management: Fumble, Pass, or Play? Tom A. Royer, Philip G. Mulder and Gerrit W. Cuperus Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 74048 American Entomologist "Postmarked: Extension, U.S.A." Volume 45 Pages 136-139 The authors of the book Ecologically Based Pest Management: New Solutions for a New Century (National Research Council 1996) thoroughly examined integrated pest management (IPM) and exposed some valid criticisms regarding its implementation. After reviewing the book, we asked the question: "What compelled the authors to re-invent and rename IPM?" We are convinced that the genesis of ecologically based pest management (EBPM) was predicated on a genuine concern about how IPM is practiced. However, we concur with Kogan's (1998) view that IPM practitioners, educators, and researchers should be troubled by the introduction of "repackaged" substitutes with new acronyms because the identity of this fully developed, already recognizable archetype [IPM] may be undermined. The title of our article reflects our belief that the identity of IPM sometimes is treated like a loose football, being fumbled and kicked by every scientist, consultant, activist, educator, or politician who stands to gain from espousing the term. "Player-coaches" (IPM consultants, educators, and researchers) must articulate the "game plan" clearly to avoid confusing other "players" (i.e., agricultural producers) and the "fans" (i.e., nonfarming consumers) that play in or watch the game. As with professional football, the ultimate success of IPM as an economically viable, widely accepted concept depends upon performance by the "players" and endorsement by the "fans."

USDA Crop Profiles FQPA instructs USDA and EPA to obtain pesticide use and usage data on the major and minor crops. Of particular importance at this time are use and usage data for the organophosphates, carbamates, and possible carcinogens. These classes of pesticides have been identified as top priority at EPA for the tolerance reassessment process. These same pesticides are also vital in the production of many of our crops. Because some of these uses may be cancelled, it is important to identify where we stand now, where we need to be in the future, and what research efforts are needed to get us there. In order to better understand where future research efforts should lead, it is necessary first to identify areas of critical need (i.e., those crops that have few if any alternative control measures available). To help USDA and EPA obtain this type of information, "Crop Profiles" are being developed. It is the intent that profiles provide the complete production story for a commodity and a look at current research activities directed at finding replacement strategies for the pesticides of concern. Crop Profiles include typical use information (not simply what pesticide labels state) and have a common format for ease of use. This site is part of the effort by the USDA Pest Management Centers to provide information critical to pest management needs in the United States.
