  1. Nursery IPM Projects Coordinated by IPM Florida, the UF, IFAS Integrated Pest Management Program Norm Leppla, Director

  2. Nursery IPM for FNGLA What is IPM? IPM Florida Why we have pests Nursery IPM projects Additional resources IPM information

  3. What is IPM? • IPM is thecoordinateduse of pest and environmentalinformationandavailablepest controlmethods • Toprevent unacceptable levelsof pestdamageby the mosteconomical means • With theleast possible hazardto people, property and the environment

  4. Approach • Scouting • Diagnosis • Thresholds • Management

  5. Tactics of IPM Sustainability Cultural Practices Biological Control Chemical Control Physical Methods

  6. IPM Florida provides statewide, interdisciplinary and inter-unit coordination and assistance for UF, IFAS integrated pest management research, extension and education faculty.

  7. National IPM Program Goals To improve the economic benefits of adopting IPM practices and to reduce potential risks to human health and the environment caused by the pests themselves or by the use of pest management practices

  8. Nursery IPM • Profitability- cost of pest management (knowledge, licensing, storage, reporting, equipment, resistance management, invasive species) • Human health- worker protection (pesticide application, reentry) • Environmental safety- surface and ground water, air pollution

  9. Why Do We Have Pest Outbreaks? Alien Invasive Species Local Invasions Pesticide Resistance Disrupted Environments Perceptions

  10. Local Invasions

  11. Pesticide Resistance The (mistaway) system uses a bio-degradable insecticide derived from the chrysanthemum flower called pyrethrum.

  12. Disrupted Environments
