Sustainable Practices for Vegetable Production in the South Dr. Mary Peet , NCSU Home Weed Management Most vegetable growers report that weeds are more difficult to manage than insects or diseases. Uncontrolled, weeds reduce yields and quality and harbor insects and diseases which then spread to the crop. For example, European corn borers feed on pigweed as well as many vegetables. Common weed control practices such as herbicide applications and cultivations cost money and, if not done properly, can cause crop and environmental damage. Herbicides can also affect both beneficial and pest insects. In some cases insect populations increase, and in other cases they decrease or are not affected. The effects can be directly toxic, with herbicides applied during oviposition or early larval development. They can also be indirect as with populations of the egg parasite Trichogramma which were reducted after feeding on insects which had ingested the herbicide alachlor. In other experiments, aphid and thrips populations increased after herbicide use. Green peach aphids preferentially invade weed-free collard patches, probably because there were fewer predators than in more weedy areas. Integrated pest management of weeds, like insect IPM, focuses on prevention, beginning with identification of weed species and mapping their location and populations in the field. This weed map should show growth stage and size and include distinguishing features such as wet areas and field borders.

Fact Sheets The techniques of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Total Crop Management (TCM) offer a practical way for growers to maintain profitable crop production while effectively managing pests. Growers who practice IPM manage their crops by assessing pest problems and utilizing many different management options - cultural, physical, mechanical, chemical and biological. Regular crop inspection can alert growers to developing pest and cultural problems while they are still minor and can be easily manged. Early detection and intervention is the foundation of any IPM program. The following fact sheets provide information to better manage pests on floriculture crops.

North Dakota State University NDSU Extension Service Integrated Pest Management in North Dakota PP-863 , February 1999 Janet J. Knodel , Crop Protection Specialist, North Central Research Extension Center Marcia P. McMullen , Extension IPM Coordinator, Department of Plant Pathology What is IPM? IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management. The definition of IPM from the National IPM Network is "IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health and environmental risks." Integrated Pest Management (IPM) affects North Dakota's largest industry, agriculture. One of the primary missions of IPM is to help growers produce profitable crops using environmentally and economically sound approaches. These IPM tools contribute to a system that produces high-quality, safe, and affordable foods and other agriculturally related products. For many growers, IPM helps balance pest management with profitable crop production and environmental protection. IPM also reaches beyond agriculture to include pest management in landscape and home settings. Strategies of IPM: How can IPM help produce a profitable crop?

This Water Quality Matters publication provides information on the impact of pesticides on water quality and how the adoption of an Integrated Pest Management Plan can help improve your bottom line and reduce environmental risks. How do pesticides affect the environment? When pesticides are used to control a target insect or weed species, beneficial insects and plants may also be adversely affected by direct contact with the pesticide. Pesticides can also harm beneficial organisms through a process called biomagnification. This refers to the increase in the concentration of a chemical in an organism over time, compared to the concentration of the chemical in the environment. Biomagnification occurs if a pesticide does not break down quickly. As insects, birds and animals eat contaminated food, the chemical accumulates in their bodies. With every step in the food chain, larger quantities of accumulated pesticide are eaten. This may continue to the point where these animals are adversely affected, or are unsafe for consumption.

PMSP GUIDELINES http://www.ipmcenters.org/pmsp/pmspindex.html Benefits of Crop Profiles and Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs) Each year several million dollars are available in the form of competitive grants to support pest management research and extension programs. The Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for these grants have become more specific in recent years reflecting the desire of the funding agencies/organizations to address important near and mid-term pest management-related projects. Some common themes are often found in the RFPs. One is a request for a discussion on how the proposed project will meet stakeholder needs. Stakeholders traditionally include the clientele of a program or project, such as farmers or agribusiness, but can also include other persons interested in the outcome of the research or extension program. Some RFPs indicate preference will be given to proposals which address priorities established by stakeholders; consequently, proposal review panels look for evidence of stakeholder involvement. Another common theme in some of these grant programs is to find pest management alternatives for pesticides canceled or restricted as a result of federal legislation or regulation. The Methyl Bromide Transitions Program (MBT), Crops at Risk from FQPA Implementation (CAR), and FQPA Risk avoidance and Mitigation for Major Food Crop Systems (RAMP) are examples. The USDA Regional Pest Management Centers established in 2000 in each USDA region are focal points for issues related to pest management and pesticide-related information.

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.

116. Integrated Pest Management - Insects The concept of integrated pest management of insects contains three basic elements. Since the pest status is determined by both insect and crop, http://highplainsipm.org/HpIPMSearch/Docs/IPM.htm

Integrated Pest Management Insects The concept of integrated pest management of insects contains three basic elements. These include: maintaining insect populations below levels that cause economic damage, the use of multiple tactics to manage insect populations, and the conservation of environmental quality. The objective of insect pest management is to manage insect populations to reduce pest status to a tolerable level. Reducing the insect pest status means that the presence of insect pests should be expected but at levels that will not cause economic damage. Complete elimination of a pest may not be feasible or even desirable. The acceptance of pest presence sets pest management apart from many other approaches to pest control. Conservation of environmental quality (air, water, soil, wildlife, and plant life) is an important element of integrated pest management. Practices that maintain environmental quality can conserve natural enemies that may help lower the pest status of target insects. Pest management tactics that minimize environmental impact will contribute to the stability of agricultural systems. Pest Management Tactics Pest management tactics are the actual practices or tools used to lower the pest status of an insect. The most common tactics used for insect control are insecticidal chemicals and cultural practices. Many different insecticides exist with several modes of action. Insecticides have the ability to inflict high mortality quickly, and are the most common and effective form of rescue treatment. These chemicals vary in toxicity to humans or other animals, and also in their potential impact on the environment.

Geoff Zehnder Extension Entomologist, Associate Professor, and Mark Rumph Extension Assistant, Agriculture Programs; both in Entomology at Auburn University The Integrated Pest Management Approach To Crop Production What Is IPM? IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining cultural, biological, chemical, and physical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. IPM relies heavily on current knowledge of pests and their interaction with the crop system to select the best combination of pest management tools. Therefore, IPM is not a single product that can be purchased, like a drum of pesticide, and it does not rely on one "silver bullet" method to solve all our pest problems. We have learned through experience that pests adapt very quickly to single control tactics through natural selection, and that multiple methods used simultaneously, or an "integrated" approach, is the most effective for long-term, sustainable management programs. IPM is not organic production. Nor does it attempt to rely solely on biological control to achieve the desired outcomes. It does often try to assist the action of natural enemies by limiting the impact of pesticide applications on their populations.
