Greenhouse IPM with an Emphasis on Biocontrols

---

This manual was produced in response to the lack of material on greenhouse IPM and biocontrol. It begins with
an introduction to IPM and its principles, information on starting an IPM/biocontrol program and using compatible pesticides, and then addresses many of the most common greenhouse pests and their biocontrols. The emphasis throughout is biocontrol. This manual is designed to educate commercial greenhouse operators, crop consultants, and IPM scouts to develop biocontrol systems for greenhouses that will maximize yields while reducing pesticide usage. Not all biocontrols or all pests are included in this manual; it focuses on some of the most common pests and the biocontrols used to manage them. Pesticides mentioned in this manual are current as of January 2005.

Greenhouse production is rapidly growing in Pennsylvania and surrounding states, providing plentiful food and
ornamental crops. At the same time, the public is demanding greenhouse-grown food produced with minimal pesticide applications. IPM provides an avenue to meet these demands by heavily relying on alternatives to pesticides such as biocontrol and good horticultural practices, and turning to pesticides only when absolutely necessary. The institutional collaboration embodied by PAIPM allows us to draw on Department of Agriculture technical experts and Penn State faculty. Moreover, more than 10 years of effort in implementing biocontrol and IPM in working, commercial greenhouses in Pennsylvania means that the information contained in this manual is very practical and designed to instruct greenhouse operators through a stepwise process. For instance, PAIPM has provided one-on-one instruction for greenhouse growers in implementing IPM including pest monitoring, biocontrol, starter plant inspection, and proper pesticide selection.

In addition, this program provided a training opportunity for PDA plant inspectors, cooperative extension personnel, and others so that the IPM message could be carried across the state.
