What is IPM?
Integrated pest management (IPM)
is an ecosystem-based strategythat focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their
damage through a combination of techniques using chemicals only as a last resort and only for the targeted organism.

IPM Process
1. Inspect regularly2. Know your host plant
3. Prevent problems before they become problems
4. Identify the pests
5. Analyze the situation
6. Strategize the solution(s) and apply
7. Monitor success over time

Inspect The Garden
Weekly.
Hand watering is a good way to keep an eye on your plants’ health.
Look underneath leaves, color of leaves, look at stems and trunk, look closely and look often.

Know Your Host Plant
Provide proper cultural conditions:
• Right time of year
• Good soil conditions
• Appropriate – Water
– Sun exposure
– Nutrition
– Airflow

Prevent Problems
Ecosystem balance
• Diverse soil biota
• Insectary plants for beneficial insects
• Rotate crops
• Plant resistant varieties

Identify the Pest
Look for clues
• Feeding damage
• Frass or trails
• Part of plant affected
• Evidence of the perpetrator itself
• Signs of parasitism

• Pest lifecycle
• Stage that causes problems
• Environment
• Cultural conditions
• Secondary pest issues
• Patterns within crop
• Geographic range and history

Wait, Is It Really a Problem?
Tolerance levels
• Economic
• Aesthetic
• Does the pest kill the host or disfigure it?
• Is the plant at the end of life?

What We Learned
Ants farming aphids. The aphid is sucking the plant juices, the ants are eating the honeydew produced by the aphids
Secondary infection of sooty mold growing on honeydew
Lady bug larva eating aphids
Lady bug adult also eating aphids
Aphids parasitized by parasitoid wasp

Is It Really a Problem?
• Will it kill the tree?
• Reduce fruit yield?
• Introduce disease?
• Stunt growth or weaken?
• Cosmetic?
• Take care of itself?

Management StrategiesMechanical: Strong spray of water
Cultural: prune off affected areas
Cultural: Tanglefoot around tree trunk to control the ants
Biological: predators already present
Low tox chemical: Soap spray effective
Chemical: not required

Inspection
Start inspection in the daytime, do you see frass? What do you notice about the feeding damage?Do you see slugs, snails or caterpillers? Do you see slime trails? Do you see eggs on the underside of leaves? Do you see white butterflies flitting about? Look under the leaves and on the stem
What do you see when you go out at 10:00 at night with a flashlight?

General Guide In Case of Disease
• Once you see the disease, it’s usually too late
• Prevention is the best approach
• Remove diseased plants or plant parts
– DO NOT COMPOST
• Grow resistant varieties
• Attend to the growingenvironment to minimizerisk

Black Spot
Caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae• Don’t allow leaves to
remain wet for more than 7 hours.
• Remove affected leaves and trash
• Clean up leaf residue • Space plants for good
airflow• Plant in 6-8 hours of sun• Choose disease resistant
varieties• Last resort: fungicide

Good Weed / Bad Weed
Why we like weeds
• Catch crop
• Soil cover
• Nectar & food source
• Habitat for beneficials
• Source of organic material
• May be edible
When we don’t like weeds
Weeds compete for resources
• Spread through rhizome
• Re-seeds like crazy
• Fast growing
• Tolerant of poor soils, drought or salt
• Perennial vs. annual

Weed Management
• Weed mat exclusion
• Mulch
• Cultivation
• Solarization
• Mow or string trim
• Flaming
• Last Resort: Herbicide

Weeds to Watch Out ForWeed Notes Management
Bermuda grass Perennial grass, spreads through rhizome, never rototill
Solarize, mulch
Bindweed Annual broadleaf, spreading roots may reach 20’, 3-5 years to fully kill
Cultivate to starve roots, mulch, herbicide
Curlydock Perennial broadleaf with a taproot
Prevent re-seed, pull taproot
Dandelion Annual Broadleaf with a taproot Prevent re-seed, pull taproot
Kikuygrass Perennial grass with aggressive rhizome
Solarize, mulch
Mallow Annual Broadleaf with a taproot Weed wack then dig taproot
Nutsedge Perennial sedge with tubers Dig out tubers and remove shoots
Plantain Annual broadleaf with invasive seed
Prevent re-seed
Oxalis Perennial broadleaf, Shade loving with a corm root
Cultivate above ground to starve root

Glyphosate
Reserve for pernicious weeds like bindweed, Bermuda grass, wild berries and the like.
Apply judiciously and in controlled manner.
