  3. Introduction (Session 1) • Introduction (Topics, Session 1 & 2) • History of IPM (Agriculture, Urban) • What is IPM? (Definitions) • Reactions to pest outbreaks • IPM practices and applications • Break IPM topics from Master Gardeners?

  4. Introduction (Session 2) • Sources of IPM information • Purchasing and using natural enemies • Pesticide use and safety • IPM education, training and certification • Future of IPM in Florida and elsewhere IPM topics from Master Gardeners?

  5. History of IPM 1939- DDT introduced, resistance 1947 1940s- Pesticide use grows 1940s and 1950s 1950s- Thousands of pesticides registered (~$40 billion worldwide by 2007) The “Magic bullet“ mindset established

  6. History of IPM 1959- Integrated Control Concept: Stern, Smith, van den Bosch, and Hagen 1969- Rachael Carson, Silent Spring 1969-National Environmental Policy Act (CEQ) 1970-EPA established (pesticide registration) 1972-FIFRA extensively amended (first passed in 1947) 1972-EPA cancels most uses of DDT 1975- CES Extension IPM, every state ($0.5-$1.5 million)

  7. What is IPM? Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is a long-standing, science-based decision-making process that identifies and reduces risks from pests and pest management strategies. It coordinates information on pest biology, the environment, and availabletechnology to preventunacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means, while posing the least risk to people, property, resources, and the environment. IPM provides an effective strategy for managing pests from developed agricultural, residential, and public areas to wild lands. IPM provides an effective, all encompassing, sustainable approach to protect natural resources, crops, animals and people from pests. IPM recommendations are frequently recognized as Best Management Practices (BMP’s) to manage weeds, disease and insects for production of food and fiber (USDA National Road Map for Integrated Pest Management).

  8. What Causes Pest Outbreaks? Alien invasive species Disrupted environments Pesticide resistance Local invasions Perceptions Others causes?

  9. Reactionto Pest Outbreak Alien Invasive Pest • Resistant Crop • Competitors • Natural enemies • Resistant varieties Vulnerable Crop • Pesticide program: • Application methods • Resistance management • New pesticides • Integrated pest management program: • Cultural practices • Scouting, Identification of pests and NE • Conservation of natural enemies • Augmentation of natural enemies • Reduced-risk insecticides • Resistance management

  10. IPM in Structures and Landscapes

  11. IPM System • Pest outbreaks & disease epidemics • Environmental contamination • Human health hazards • Pest mgmt. costs • Reduce • risk… INCREASE… • Reliability • Sustainability Chem Biological Control Cultural Methods

  18. Direct Access to IPM Information • Habitat-specific integrated pest • management guides, fact sheets, • EDIS articles, Featured Creatures, etc. •  Links to specialized websites with pest • management information specific • to a crop or situation. • Key contacts for expert advice on • managing pests. •  Additional resources for pest • identification and management, • e.g., diagnostic services.

  19. Extension Guides

  20. Electronic Data Information Source (EDIS) The EDIS website is a comprehensive, single-source repository of all current UF/IFAS numbered peer-reviewed publications (about 7,500). http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/

  21. Electronic Data Information Source (EDIS) • Agriculture • Community Development • Environment • Families & Consumers • 4H Youth development • Lawn & Garden • Aquaculture • Crops • Livestock • Nursery & GH • Organic farming • Agricultural safety • Small farms • Turf & sod

  22. Featured Creatures provides in-depth profiles of insects, nematodes, arachnids and other organisms. The site is a cooperative venture of the University of Florida's Department of Entomology and Nematology and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Division of Plant Industry. All articles are official publications of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

  23. Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Fined $12.5 Million in February 2012 • pled guilty to “illegally applying insecticides to its wild bird food products that are toxic to birds, falsifying pesticide registration documents, distributing pesticides with misleading and unapproved labels and distributing unregistered pesticides” • The insecticides added to Scotts wild bird food products were Actellic 5E and Storcide II

  24. Pesticide Information • UF/IFAS Pesticide Information Office • CDMS- ChemSearch • CDMS- http://www.cdms.net/ • LabelsMsds/LMDefault.aspx • EPA- http://www.epa.gov/ • opp00001/regulating/ • registering/data_sources.htm • Extension Pesticide Applicator Training

  25. Extension Diagnostic Services What can the Gainesville campus diagnostic laboratories do for a master gardener volunteer client? Anthony Camerino Citrus County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Coordinator IPM Florida Presentation Number 18

  26. Plant Identification Extension Soil Testing Plant Disease Clinic & Nematode Assay Insect Identification

  27. How to Send a Sample to Gainesville and Receive the Results? Master Gardener Volunteer Plant Clinic/Phone Room Maybe if I put enough stuff in this box, put a stamp on it, and send it to Gainesville someone will tell me what’s wrong with my plant? I can’t diagnosis your problem here, but I can get your sample to the right lab for an accurate and timely diagnosis.
