Related Information Pesticides and Food: What "Integrated Pest Management" Means Age-old, common-sense practices are what many people associate with IPM. Today many growers no longer apply pesticides to food on a regular basis regardless of whether or not there are insects, weeds, or other pest problems. In some parts of the country, food is being marketed as IPM food. Some practices for preventing pest damage may include: inspecting crops and monitoring crops for damage, and using mechanical trapping devices, natural predators (e.g., insects that eat other insects), insect growth regulators, mating disruption substances (pheromones), and if necessary, chemical pesticides. The use of biological pesticides is an important component of IPM.

Site Map Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. Integrated pest management takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options, including the judicious use of pesticides. In contrast, organic food production applies many of the same concepts as IPM but limits the use of pesticides to those that are produced from natural sources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals. How do IPM programs work?

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.

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

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.

IPM pays off for team players as GM hits problems Benefits compared to GM cotton May 2001 According to 'Cotton World'(Australia), large plantings of Monsanto's Ingard GM cotton in Australia in recent years have led to concerns about insect resistance to Bt. In order to try and maintain the efficacy of the technology Australian growers could soon face independent audits of their pupae-busting activities as part of the resistance management strategy for Ingard varieties. Ingard crops require priority tillage action irrespective of pupae numbers, and all Ingard crops in southern Queensland and New South Wales are considered a high risk situation for pupae control (see: Meanwhile, ' Innovate Australia ' (representing Australia's food, fibre and natural resources research and development corporations) reports steadily increasing levels of pesticide applications on Ingard Bt cotton following the initial substantial reductions (see: http://www.innovateaustralia.com/summer00/crdc.html Despite its on-going enthusiasm for Ingard Bt cotton Innovate Australia concludes that: "Economic benefits for growers from the new technology have been variable but generally only small when compared to conventional cotton"

TDA AWARDS GRANTS FOR INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT RESEARCH AUSTIN — Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs announced today that the Texas Department of Agriculture has awarded $300,000 to allow 26 projects to conduct research into integrated pest management techniques that help producers use alternative methods of farming, such as biological insects and adjusted planting dates, to control insects, plant diseases and weeds. "As many commodity prices continue to be low, Texas farmers welcome ways offered by integrated pest management techniques to reduce their production costs through the use of less pesticides and other inputs," Combs said. "This year’s grant projects will affect a wide spectrum of crops grown across Texas, from traditional commodities such as cotton, corn and sorghum, to new alternative crops like sunflowers." Integrated pest management is a farming system that curbs pest populations by using a variety of practices including biological pest controls, pest-resistant crop plants, crop rotations, planting date adjustments and crop residue destruction. Under IPM, pesticides are used only when IPM methods fail to control problems that threaten to cause significant crop damage. The IPM grant projects awarded for 2002 are: ** Cotton Ginning Impacts on Boll Weevils ($35,000)—

FEEDBACK - tell us what you think Extension IPM programs at the University of Idaho were established in the early 1970's with a pilot area-wide project that brought together extension and research faculty in plant pathology and entomology with regulatory personnel at state and federal agencies. From those beginnings evolved our current statewide mission: to help citizens of Idaho manage pests in ways minimize threats to human health and environmental quality while maximizing the profitability of pest control action. We work to those goals by conducting educational programs and adaptive research that provides our citizens with the tools and training needed to apply integrated pest management, both on the farm and around their homes. Our program emphasizes key agricultural field and row crops but also includes forest and range lands managed for commercial, recreational and wildlife uses. And while we remain a rural state, rapidly growing urban populations in the Boise area and resort destinations in northern Idaho mandate educational outreach about urban pest management.

University of Kentucky Integrated Pest Management Estimating IPM Participation In Major Kentucky Field Crops D. Johnson and P. Lucas ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION METHODS Participants for the survey were selected by selected County Agents for Agriculture. Each agent was telephoned and asked to participate in the survey. If agreement was reached, the survey was explained to them during the telephone conversation. The agents were asked to select 10 producers in their county which represented the general trends in field crop agriculture for their county. After the telephone conversation, ten copies of the survey with a letter again explaining the survey were mailed to each of 21 county agents. The agents then distributed the surveys to selected producers in their counties, and arranged for return of the surveys to the authors. Each of the 'agreement/disagreement' terms was assigned a point value from one to five. In the seven statements describing IPM practices, five points were assigned to the positive 'descriptive term' Almost Always (or Strongly Agree) and each successive 'descriptive term' was reduced one point with Almost Never (or Strongly Disagree) receiving one point. The statement describing the IPM-incompatible practice was scored in reverse. The combination of questions with associated 'agreement/disagreement' values produced a scoring range with a maximum score of 34 and a minimum score of 2. The maximum score is formed by scoring maximum (five) on all seven of the IPM-supportive statements and subtracting the minimum value (one) for the IPM-incompatible statement e.g. ((7 X 5)-1). The minimum score is obtained by scoring the minimum value (one) for each of the seven IPM-supportive statements, and subtracting the maximum (five) for the IPM-incompatible statement e.g. ((7 X 1)-5).

It requires understanding of the greenhouse as an entire unit, an ecosystem unto itself. This ecosystem must be kept in balance. Temperature, relative humidity, and both pest and biocontrol agent populations must all be monitored. Strict sanitation must be maintained. If one component becomes unbalanced, the rest of the system suffers. Careful records of these components will help the manager correct small problems before they damage the balance in the greenhouse. Maintaining this balance is the key to successful IPM programs.

The backbone of a good IPM program is the scout, who gathers pest information, records what is found, summarizes this information and reports it to the grower for the final pest management decision. Informal surveys revealed that use of trained scouts is not a common practice among floriculture producers throughout the nation. This project was designed:
