INTEGRATED FOREST PROTECTION LEARNING OBJECTIVES Principles of IFP Application of IFP to Nurseries Strategies and Tools for IFP in Forests
Integrated Forest Protection • Interdisciplinary (Systems approach) • Clear goals • Ecological basis • Pest interactions • Plant Disease Triangle • Economic (or action) thresholds • Use a variety of tactics and treatments in a coordinated approach • Prevention of pest problems
Systems Approach Forest Management (What are your Goals?) Pest Management

Economic (or Action) Thesholds Benefit = Cost Economic Injury Level or Resource Impact Level Pest Population Density Economic Threshold or Action Threshold Time
Information Needed to Implement Integrated Forest Protection • Basic biology and ecology • Impact data • Detection/monitoring systems • Hazard/risk rating systems • Treatment alternatives
Hazard and Risk Rating Models • Hazard = susceptibility • suitability of the environment for a specific pest • amount of damage that will occur if pest is present • Risk = Hazard + measure of pest abundance and proximity • probability that an infestation will occur • Hazard ≠ Risk
