62. Integrated Pest Management Managing crops to reduce buildup of pest populations is an important Successful implementation of integrated pest management for agricultural crops. http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/sustainable/peet/IPM/c04aipm.html

Sustainable Practices for Vegetable Production in the South Dr. Mary Peet , NCSU Home Integrated Pest Management INTRODUCTION Integrated pest management (IPM) is a set of practices designed to avoid economic losses from pests while at the same time minimizing use of pesticides or other practices with possible detrimental effects. over the past 20 years, there has been a steady increase in the use of IPM due to increased public emphasis on environmental safety, development of pest resistance to all the major classes of insecticides and a reduction in the number of new insecticides, but only in the past five years has there been a dramatic move to IPM in agriculture. Individually, IPM practices are not very different from practices used in conventional pest control. Collectively, however, they represent a very different management philosophy. A successful IPM program considers the effect of every aspect of farm management on pest and beneficial populations. Plowing, crop scheduling, irrigation and mulch application may be adjusted to reduce future pest problems. For example, an IPM practitioner might consider the following: Nitrogen fertilizer has stimulated aphid outbreaks in cole crops; insecticides may kill natural enemies of weeds; fungicides may kill soil microorganisms that control nematodes; and both insecticides and fungicides may reduce earthworm populations, thus lowering soil fertility and water infiltration rates.

Return to the "Stone-Age of Pest Management " EPA Public Meeting "Plant Pesticides Resistance Management" March 21, 1997, Washington, D.C. Remarks Presented on Behalf of Consumers Union By: Dr. Charles M. Benbrook Dr. Michael Hansen We agree wholeheartedly with EPA's statement in the Federal Register Notice announcing this meeting "EPA recognizes the value of Bt as a safer pesticide and has determined that it is necessary to conserve this resource as appropriate by requiring resistance management plans." Bt is indisputably the most important biopesticide registered for use in the United States, indeed worldwide. Bt foliar insecticide sales in the United States today are pushing $60 million annually and account for the lion's share of biopesticide sales (Gianessi, 1995). The prospect for steady sales growth were bright, at least until the emergence of Bt -transgenic plants that promise to quickly lead to widespread resistance to all Bt products, hence removing this uniquely effective and safe natural product from the "pesticide tool-kit." Bt spray formulations are available for use in managing many difficult-to-control lepidopteran and coleopteran insects. Lepidopteran insects are major problems for farmers producing field crops like corn (corn ear worm), cotton (bollworm, budworm, pink bollworm), and potatoes (Colorado potato beetle). But of even greater concern from the perspective of human health, lepidopteran species are also typically the dominant insect pests in fruit and vegetable crops. By "dominant," we mean the species that, over the years, requires the most frequent applications of the generally most toxic insecticides.

Research Projects 1999 In 1999, IITA's work was structured as 16 multidisciplinary research projects plus two projects relating to ecoregional and CGIAR systemwide programs. Some projects focus on production systems for specific crops or crop combinations; others are thematically oriented and can involve many crops. Most of the projects cut across the agroecological zones for which IITA's work is targeted. This section presents the goals of each 1999 project with links to 1999 Project Highlights and to the 1999 Project Annual Reports. In 2000, the projects were restructured, in some cases consolidated, and renumbered.

Miller Professor Weslaco, Texas G. Cuperus Professor Oklahoma State University Department of Entomology Stillwater, Oklahoma J. Anciso Extension Agent Edinburg, Texas Introduction Cucurbits are an important part of the fresh market vegetable crops in the USA comprising approximately 9% of all fresh vegetable shipments in 1992 (USDA Agricultural Statistics 1993). Cucurbit fruit such as pickling cucumber, pumpkin, and squash, are also important processed or frozen commodities. Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, cucumber, squash, and pumpkin are grown throughout the south central region of the U.S. from south Texas through Oklahoma. It is estimated that over 100,000 acres for the crop complex as a whole are produced in Texas and Oklahoma. The fruit is primarily channeled through the fresh market and through processors for pickles and frozen goods. The pest complex attacking these crops in these areas can result in severe yield losses. Consumer demands for unblemished produce in the fresh market coupled with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for the processor market dictate that cucurbit fruit be blemish free and of standard size and color. Because of this, pesticide usage has remained high for these crops and adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) practices slow because of the perceived risks to production.

Pest Management Office Pest Alerts 491 College Ave., Orono, ME 04473-1295 Fact Sheets 207-581-3880 or 1-800-287-0279 (in Maine) Potato IPM The Maine potato industry is extremely interested in reducing pesticide usage while maintaining crop quality and yields. This interest derives from market demands for a high quality product; consumer concern about pesticide residues; and environmental and personal safety concerns, as well as escalating expenses associated with purchasing and applying pesticides. Maine's potato industry can be divided approximately into thirds: seed, tablestock, and processing, representing the major market outlets for the industry. In 1993, the average yield was 260 hundredweight per acre; and the sale of that crop generated some $130 million to the industry. Threats to maintaining farm profitability come from many directions including uncertain market prices, a market demand for high quality products and pest pressures (such as late blight) that have the potential to reduce yields and degrade quality below profitable levels. Most Maine potato farms are family businesses. An individual grower typically functions as a business owner; employer; farm laborer; horticulturist; and much, much more. It is very difficult, if not impossible, for producers to keep up with the state-of-the-art in potato pest management on their own, in addition to attending to the many other aspects of running an agricultural business.

Pest Management IPM Correct cultural practices Establish thresholds Inspect and monitor ... Return to Introduction PEST MANAGEMENT There have been and are many approaches to managing pests in crops, gardens, yards and homes. These range from applying no control measures to applying pesticides on a regular schedule. Some people will not use pesticides; others want to get rid of the pest by any means. As a Master Gardener, you must learn all the methods and materials which can be used to manage pests. When we try to understand all the methods of managing pests and select the best methods for a particular situation, we are using Integrated Pest Management (IPM). INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) Integrated Pest Management or IPM provides us with a systematic approach to pest control. It begins with using the best gardening practices. Following the correct selection and culture of plants reduces the potential for pests and diseases.

78. Issues In S And T, Spring 2000, The Illusion Of Integrated Pest Management Today, pest consultants typically monitor crops and determine when to treat Some are trained in pest management. At best, most are able to diagnose pest http://www.issues.org/issues/16.3/ehler.htm

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.

Project Summary Glades Crop Care, Inc. proposes to survey the integrated pest management (IPM) practices of selected vegetable-growing clientele. The results of this survey will be used to apply the IPM measurement methodology recently published by the Consumers Union. We will use the methodology and surveyed acreage to assess the distribution of our client-base along the IPM continuumfrom pesticide dependent in the "no" and "low" zones of the continuum to biointensive-based pest management. This methodology allows quantitative comparison of pest management practices between growers, or over time. It also makes it possible to compare pesticide use and risks along the continuuma critical step in documenting the food safety, environmental, and worker safety benefits of IPM adoption. The methodology will also highlight those crops or pests where currently available management tools and systems remain of necessity pesticide dependent. This information is valuable in prioritizing our field research program, highlighting product registration needs, and providing guidance to other groups identifying research needs. The results of this study will demonstrate to growers the feasibility of a science-based IPM measurement methodology, while also documenting the linkage between IPM adoption and pesticide risk reduction. A final potential benefit will be the identification of pest management problems where greater efforts are needed in developing biointensive management techniques.
