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.

We acknowledge that the vision we are describing for IPM as an essential aspect of all production and distribution systems for plant and animal commodities implies much broader awareness and acceptance by those working with these commodities than currently exists. Certainly, education of those working in production and distribution systems regarding alternatives to pesticides must be a priority. Integrated control programs with employment of cultural measures, host resistance, and biological agents along with attention to appropriate decision-making processes for application of pesticides must be emphasized.

COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE Choosing the most efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost effective approach towards pest control IPM/PAT Newsletter Pest information Agricultural Experiment Station Research and Public Service UVI The tropical climate of the Virgin Islands provides suitable environmental conditions for year-round activity of many pest species. PLANT DISEASES The nearly continuous easterly tradewinds ensure quick drying of plant surfaces. Therefore, exposing as much of the foliage within a plant's canopy to air currents through selective pruning and adequate plant spacing will minimize infection periods for plant-disease organisms. Disease incidence and severity can thereby be greatly reduced. INSECT PESTS Insects and other arthropod pests can become serious problems for plants, animals as well as man rather quickly. Regular inspection of plants, animals and structures is often essential in avoiding economic damage by pest species. Recognizing the pest problem* is the first major step in preventing further unwanted effects of the pests and control. The geographical isolation of the Virgin Islands prevents the constant invasion by new pest species. Nevertheless, through various means including sporadic strong cross-atlantic air currents, new insect species may occasionaly reach the islands. A number of desert locusts (

Resources Introduction Overuse and misuse of pesticides has become a common agricultural practice in many countries. Their widespread use often leads to new problems including poisonings, insect resistance to chemicals, and the loss of the pests' natural enemies. In the Philippines, it is usually women who decide on and buy agro-chemicals for the farm. Filipina researchers have been introducing rural women to a new system of integrated pest management (IPM), an environmentally and economically sound way to control agricultural pests. IPM involves using resistant varieties of crops, better water and fertilizer management, and need-based application of environmentally sensitive and less toxic pesticides. IPM controls pests using a combination of techniques that include: the natural enemies of a pest; special cropping practices (such as proper timing and rate of fertilizer application, and synchronized planting, rodent control, and harvesting at the community level); and minimal use of chemical pesticides based on regular monitoring of fields to diagnose pest damage.

Institute for Horticultural Development Plant Health: Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management Crop Health Services IPM projects at IHD develop strategies for management of both pests and diseases. They involve applied research on individual pests or pest and disease complexes, and synthesis of knowledge for education and training programs to enhance on farm adoption. Projects aim to provide growers with a range of integrated management tools to optimise control of pests in a sustainable way. Activities of the team include: Insecticide and fungicide resistance monitoring and management; Development of crop monitoring and hygiene protocols; Training of growers and crop scouts; Improvement of spray application methods; Research on biological and non-chemical control mechanisms; and Identification of disease vectors and epidemiology. Insecticide and fungicide resistance monitoring and management The experience in Victoria, which is common elsewhere, shows that misuse of pesticides creates populations of pests and pathogens which have acquired resistance of insecticides and fungicides. Several industries report significant control failures and loss of income, which force a realisation that more balanced approaches are required. This strategy is endorsed by chemical companies, whose concern is to preserve the useful life of their products to ensure a return on their investment. Another driver for adoption of IPM and resistance management programs is the demand for quality assured produce, which requires compliance with standards for residues of approved chemicals.

E-Publications Agassiz - Integrated Pest Management - Directory of Research Programs Vegetable Insects Blueberry and Cranberry Insects Raspberry and Strawberry Insects Greenhouse Vegetable Insects Overview Research is conducted to develop efficient, cost-effective strategies and procedures for the management of insect pests without relying on chemical pesticides. Researchers develop insect management methods for greenhouse crops, field vegetable and berry crops. A variety of management methods are investigated: biological control methods using the natural enemies of insects to control pest populations are developed; rearing methods for biological controls are established for commercial production of control insects; mating disruption methods are investigated and artificial pheromones developed to reduce total populations of insect pests in fields; mechanical controls and other management methods which allow reduced amounts of chemicals for pest control are also developed; sampling methods for pest and beneficial insects are developed and validated for use by growers and pest managers; and beneficial insects are studied in nature to enhance the understanding and knowledge of the natural processes involved in insect population control and balance. Geographic information systems provide current information on pest populations and movements. In addition, chemical controls for short-term use or for use on small-production crops are also investigated and applications made through the User Requested Minor Use Label Expansion program for approval by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

ILEIA Newsletter Vol. 13 No. 4 p. 4 Integrated Pest Management: smallholders fight back Frans Meerman, Wietse Bruinsma, Arnold van Huis, Paul ter Weel This issue of the Newsletter is about substituting external inputs for labour, management skills and knowledge. It is about Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and men and women farmers participating in Farmer Field Schools, experiential learning and non-formal education. Although 35 years have passed since Rachel Carson published Silent Spring with its devastating account of the effects of the indiscriminate use of agro-chemicals, the one-sided push for increased output continues. Nature is controlled to this end and reliance on pesticide has not diminished. In northern countries, the environmental movement, followed hesitantly by government regulation, has had some impact on stabilising and perhaps curbing agro-chemicals, but in the South the use of pesticides has increased and chemical companies aggressively expand their markets. Since the 1950s agriculture has been dominated by the vision of modernisation and the potential for using technology to mould nature to this end. This model has dominated the industrial agriculture of the North and the history of Green Revolution agriculture in the South. Fortunately there have been initiatives within several agencies and governments to implement alternative approaches. FAO's Inter-Country IPM programme, which introduced the participative learning model of Farmer Field Schools, is one such example. First in Asia and later in Africa, many farmers were led to explore the wonderful and complex ecological relations present in their own fields and eco-regions. In this last Newsletter of 1997 we focus on IPM and try to give a picture of the changes that have taken place in recent years.

PESTICIDE PROGRAM Buzz Vance, Certification and Education Specialist Craig Romary, Environmental Specialist Integrated Pest Management The USDA, through its National IPM Network, has adopted the following definition: "Integrated Pest Management 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." Components of IPM include: Building awareness and being prepared. Obtain the best available information about the pests in your situation. Having knowledge of a pest's habitat, food needs, and life cycle is a must. Prevention. Use available methods to prevent pest populations from becoming a health or economic risk. Often this can be done by creating environmental conditions that are not favorable for the pest, such as using mechanical cultivation or a crop rotation that interrupts the pest's life cycle. Often new varieties of crops are available that lessen our dependence on pesticides due to their ability to resist certain pests. Scouting and analysis. Determine if a pest population is present and whether it is at a level requiring action. This should be done to get the most accurate picture possible - more than just a gut feeling.
