Module 1 Flashcards
it is an (1) ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on 12) long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a (3) combination of techniques such as biologica control, habitat manipulation; modification of culturel practices and use of resistant varíeties. (4) Pesticides are used only after (4a) monitoring indicates that they are (4b) needed according to established (4c) guidelines and treatments are made with the goal of removing (4d) only the target organisms Pest control tools are selected and applied in a manner that (5) minimizes risks to human health, to beneficial and non target organisms and environment.
IPM by Gouveia, 2001
IPM is a decision support system for the selection and use of pest control tactics, singly, or harmoniously coordinated into a management strategy, based on cost benefit analyses that take into account the interest of and impacts on producers, society and the environment.
Marcos Kogan, 1998
IPM is the management of pests by integrating host resistance, cultural, biological and chemical controls in a manner that minimizes economic health and environmental risks.
Crop Protection Manager, 1997
IPM for agriculture is the application of an interconnected set of principles and methods to problems caused by insects, diseases, weeds and other agricultural pests. IPM includes pest prevention techniques, pest monitoring methods, biological control, pest-resistant plant varieties,
pestattractant and repellents, and biopesticides. It also involves. the use of weather data to predict the onset of pest attack, and cultural practices such as rotation, mulching, raised planting beds and narrow plant rows.
Tette, James P., 1997
IPM is a sustainable approach to manading crop nests. 1PM combines the use of biological, cultural, physical and chemical tactics in a way that minimizes economic,
health and environmental risks
The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences
(1996)
IPM in its simplest form. is a control strategy, in which a variety of biological chemical and cultural control practices are combined to give stable long term pest control.
Ramalho, 1994
A combination of pest control methods (biological, chemical and cultivation) that, if used in the proper-order and at the proper times, keep the size of a pest population low enough that it does not cause substantial. economic loss.
Raven, Berg and Johnson, 1993
A local scientist designates a philosophy and methodology of restricting pest numbers to non injurious levels
IPM by Davide, 1991
What are the Goals & Scope of IPM?
Optimize profits
Justain resource
More rational use of pesticides
Reduce environmental contamination and costs - soil
Utilize natural biocontrol agentsa
Minimize pesticide resistance problems.
Food safety
Worker safety,-
What are the Rules of IBM Program?
- Grow a healthy crop
- Observe fields (weekly)
- Agroecosystem management (weeds, insects, natural enemy management, disease, snails, rats, birds)
- Farmer empowerment_ as IPM experts (extentionists, farmer field schools, community
What are the General IPM Strategies?
- Do nothing
- Reduce numbers
- Reduce crop/ host/ ecosystem susceptibility
- Combined strategies.
What are the Key Steps in IPM Program:
- Know your nest rind plant health problems.
- Decide what is unacceptable pest damage for your situation.
- Consider ALL available pest management practices.
4: Time pest control with windows of opportunity or point of weakness in pests life cycle
What are the knowledge for management decisions?
Proper pest ID
Biology of pest/host/ecosystems
Pest monitoring methods
Environment monitoring methods
Available and promising control method
