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. Soybean IPM Program Features 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.

Effective Control of Household Spiders Home Identification Prevention Physical Control ... Français Introduction Spiders commonly found in Canadian homes include house spiders, wolf spiders, cellar spiders, fishing spiders and, much more infrequently, black widow spiders. Spiders are usually found in corners of rooms, closets, boxes, dark crevices, basements, garages, and gardens. Spiders are excellent pest controllers. Wolf spiders are especially beneficial to farmers and gardeners because they prey on common crop pests such as cottonworms, gypsy moths and pea aphids. Spiders do not transmit any diseases. Although nearly all spiders have venom glands, they rarely bite humans and only a few species, such as the black widow spider, can have a dangerously venomous bite.

Radcliffe's IPM World Textbook Apunte aquí para versión en Español X Integrated Pest Management (IPM) The roots of IPM can be traced to the late 1880s when "ecology" was identified as the foundation of scientific plant protection. The advent of modern synthetic insecticides in the mid 1940s resulted in a shift of focus to pesticide technology. Over the next 30 years, recognition of the limitations, and often detrimental consequences of over reliance on insecticides, led to the formulation of the concepts of IPM. In 1972, President Nixon formally committed the U.S. government to the development and promotion of IPM. In reality, pesticide-based pest control still predominates U.S. agriculture. However, biologically intensive control technologies are increasingly displacing agrochemically intensive technologies. Photograph (above): Alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). This destructive pest of alfalfa (lucerne) was accidentally established in North America on three occasions. Alfalfa weevil has been the target of classical biological control efforts since its discovery in North America more than 90 years ago. These efforts have resulted in the establishment of at least 9 exotic parasitoids and egg predators. This once devastating pest is now largely controlled in the eastern U.S. by these natural enemies.

Bermudagrass is extremely competitive with peach trees. It is capable of reducing tree growth and can cause significant reductions in fruit size and yield. In extreme situations bermudagrass not only impacts yield and tree growth but it can also leave thick residue under trees preventing the utilization of radiant heat during spring freeze events. Proper management during the orchard growing season will increase ease of winter orchard floor management. Fusilade, Poast, and Select can be used for bermudagrass control. All three herbicides may be used in newly planted orchards, but only Poast and Fusilade may be used in bearing orchards. None of these herbicides control broadleaf weeds, or nutsedge (nutgrass). Although less common, Johnsongrass can be a weed pest in orchards too. These same herbicides are effective on Johnsongrass as well.

Chemical Controls Soil Preparation The best way to control insects and disease problems is to prevent them. 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. Build a biologically active, healthy soil through regular addition of organic matter, such as yardwaste, compost, and manure. Grow winter 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 in crop residues. Return to Table of Contents Plant Selection Plant crops that are suited to the soil and climate. If you do plant vegetables or fruits that are not normally grown in your area, provide them with necessary conditions. Use disease-free, certified seed, if available.

Integrated Pest Management The Garden as Ecosystem Twentyfive years ago, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) seemed a utopian dream to mainstream agriculturalists. The idea that plant pests could be kept at acceptable levels without large amounts of chemical pesticides ran counter to everything they had been taught. But now IPM is embraced by nearly everyone involved in the field. What caused the turn around? Chemical Miracles When chemical pesticides were first introduced in large quantities in the 1940s, they were seen as miracles of modern life. Now all farmers had to do was spary their crops with DDT, or some other chemical, and they could achieve complete control. But within a couple of decades, problems began appearing. The most important of which is the environmental harm done by chemicals which are both toxic and persistent. Even 25 years after being almost totally banned in the U.S., DDT can still be found in the tissue of animals. But even disregarding environmental concerns, there were a number of other factors that called into question the wisdom of such uninhibited use of chemicals. First, when using an insecticide to control a pest, its natural predators are often killed off as well. This can have the unintended effect of actually causing an upswing in the pest population. Second, many insects can very quickly develop populations resistant to a given chemical. And third, when one pest is eliminated the door is opened to others that were less apparent before their competition was killed off. At first the solution to these problems seemed to be to just use more, or different, chemicals, but eventually it became obvious this was no more than a good way to line the pockets of chemical manufacturers.
