Agricultural Plant Pest Control

---

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a pest management strategy that focuses on longterm prevention through regular monitoring and a combination of control methods. IPM attempts to prevent losses from pests in ways that are effective, economical, and available, while maintaining safety of the crop, people, and environment. IPM is based on a thorough understanding of the pest, so cultural, mechanical, biological, genetic, and chemical techniques can be integrated to optimize control. Pest management tactics commonly used in field crop situations include the use of resistant varieties, crop rotation, following recommended tillage practices, and proper soil fertilization.

The integrated approach is important because of problems associated with exclusive use of chemical pesticides. Some pest species have no satisfactory pesticide available for control, so other methods are important. Adverse weather conditions may prevent application or reduce efficacy of pesticides that are applied. Safe pesticide application is impossible in areas close to dwellings, livestock, beehives or water resources. Inadequate coverage, poor placement, or improper timing can lead to poor control. And pests can develop resistance through the use of a single pesticide. Chemical pesticides can be responsible for destruction of natural enemies, outbreaks of secondary pests, environmental contamination, and cause health hazards for the applicator and people who come in contact with the treated area.

The reason for most pest control failures is not understanding the biology of the pest, its effect on the crop and how a particular control method works.
