Integrated Pest Management and Missouri’s Agriculture
Define Integrated
Pest Management
Systematic approach to solving pest problems by applying our
knowledge about pests to prevent them from damaging crops.
What are the
goals of IPM?
• Safeguard human health and the environment through improved
application of IPM strategies and systems.
• Increase the range of benefits to enterprises and individuals
through improved use of IPM strategies and systems.
• Increase the supply and dissemination of information and
knowledge about IPM strategies and systems.
• Enhance collaboration between public, private and nonprofit
stakeholders to foster improved use of IPM strategies and
systems.
Summarize the 5
steps of effective
IPM.
• Proper identification is critical—not all insects are pests, so
properly identifying the pest can save you from using the
improper control, which can be very costly.
• Monitoring for pest outbreaks—scouting can allow for early
detection, which can be controlled before a pest outbreak.
• Establishing thresholds of control measures—pest populations
or damage must exceed the economic threshold.
• IPM tactics—various control methods. All methods must be
considered when treating the problem. These range from
biological to cultural to physical to genetic to chemical
methods.
• Evaluation—what worked and didn’t worked needs to be
evaluated for future consideration.

Fruit and Vegetable Production: Management Practices FV2.5
Garden Creation
Evaluate a site, and create a recommendation for improvement of the site based on production
methods to fit a desired market. Then, select and defend one pest management plan that might be
needed for the site. The recommendation must be at least 300 words, and include the following
information:
• Where is the site located?
• What are the dimensions of the site?
• What crops would be best suited for the site?
• Describe the appearance and texture of the soil.
• Describe the topography of the area.
• Is the area easily accessible? If so, how can the area be accessed? If not, what changes
would be needed to provide better access to the site?
• What is the climate of the area? Are there any microclimates in the site?
• What utilities are available at the site? What additional utilities are needed?
• Would this area be a good production site? Why or why not?
• Explain the best pest management practices.

Fruit and Vegetable Management Practices Evaluation
1. Describe the 3 production methods used to create products to fit specific markets.
• Conventional Farming: (descriptions will vary, should include some of the
following elements) "Modern Agriculture" or "Industrial Agriculture"; rapid
technological innovation; large farms; uniform, high-yield, hybrid crops;
pesticides and fertilizers; high labor efficiency; dependency on agribusiness
• Organic: (descriptions will vary, should include some of the following
elements) Promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil
biological activity; minimal use of off-farm inputs; management practices
restore, maintain, and enhance environment; cannot ensure products are
completely free of residues; minimize pollution to air, soil, water; primary
goal is to optimize health and productivity of soil, plants, animals, and people
• Natural: (descriptions will vary, should include most of the following
elements) Non-regulated term; generally, no chemicals and no genetically
modified seeds; often used to avoid the work and expense of being certified as
organic
2. Name and describe 5 different markets used to sell produce.
Descriptions of the 5 markets will vary; each market should include most of the elements
listed
• Consumer Supported Agriculture
o Group of individuals who pledge to support one or more local farms
o Growers and consumers share the risks and benefits of production
• Farmers Market
o Food market where local farmers sell products directly to consumers.
• Wholesale Marketing
o Selling crops to one place, such as a store, restaurant, or cooperative
o Less money may be earned than by selling directly to the consumer
• Roadside Stand
o Producer sells directly to consumers
o Often seasonal, temporary or semi-temporary
o Located on or off the farm
• Pick-Your-Own
o Customers come to field and pick their own fruits and vegetables to
purchase

3. Name and explain 3 elements that must be considered when selecting a site on which to
grow fruits or vegetables.
Answers will vary; 3 elements from the following list should be adequately explained.
• Soil
o Texture affects ease of tilling and root development, amount of air and
water soil will hold, rate of water movement through soil, and nutrient
supplies; pH affects available nutrient levels and needs to be monitored to
reduce nutrient deficiencies; Fertility depends on nutrient balance and
quantity, soil texture and structure, rooting depth, organic matter content,
available water capacity, porosity, length of growing season
• Topography
o Affects soil condition, types of plants that grow well in the area, and how
accessible the area is for machinery; Along with wind and water influence,
topography affects soil erosion, soil drainage, and water-holding capacity
• Accessibility
o Needs to be accessible to plant, maintain, and harvest crop; Utilities (water
and electricity) need to be accessible; Existing roads and roads that may
need to be built; Some farms need to be accessible to customers
• Climate
o Helps determine what plants will thrive during the growing season; Frost
dates estimated by the USDA define growing season
• Utilities
o Need to be easily accessible; Distance of utilities affects cost to bring them
to the site; Water needs to be available and plentiful; Electricity may be
needed depending on equipment used
• Zoning
o Controls physical development of land; Dictates kinds of uses allowed on
individual properties; Controlled by local governments
• Labor
o Depends on type, size and scale of production; May be automated or done
by hand
4. Explain 2 goals of IPM.
Answers will vary; 2 elements from the following list should be adequately explained.
• Safeguard human health and the environment through improved application of
IPM strategies and systems.
• Increase the range of benefits to enterprises and individuals through improved use
of IPM strategies and systems.
• Increase the supply and dissemination of information and knowledge about IPM
strategies and systems.
• Enhance collaboration between public, private and nonprofit stakeholders to
foster improved use of IPM strategies and systems.
