Integrated Pest Management
  • Hannah Lee
  • Jack Smith
  • Shawn Cooley

What is IPM?
  • Environmentally sensitive approach to pest
    management
  • Relies on combination of common-sense practices
  • Can be applied to both agriculture and
    non-agriculture

3
How does it work?
  • Set Action Thresholds
  • Pest populations or environmental conditions
    indicate that pest control action must be taken
  • Monitor and Identify Pests
  • IPM programs work to monitor pests and identify
    them accurately (harmful or not)
  • Prevention
  • Programs workto prevent pests on the crops, lawn,
    or indoor space
  • These control methods are very effective,
    cost-efficient, and are little to no risk to
    people or enviornment

How does it work?
  • 4. Control
  • IPM programs evaluate the proper control method
    for effectiveness and risk
  • Lessrisky pest controls are chosen first then
    highly targeted chemicals are used
  • Broadcasting spray of pesticides is a always a
    last resort

5
Why are pesticides so bad?
  • The chemicals in pesticides remain active long
    after they have done their job in your garden.
  • When pesticides are applied, they get into our
    oil, air, and water reserves.
  • Pesticides near water sources can harm aquatic
    life and destroy natural ecosystems
  • Toxic substances in pesticide sprays cause health
    problems from skin irritation to cancer
  • They kill beneficial organisms too
  • Pests exposed to excessive pesticides can build
    up resistance over time
