Site Map Integrated Pest Management Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. Integrated pest management takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options, including the judicious use of pesticides. In contrast, organic food production applies many of the same concepts as IPM but limits the use of pesticides to those that are produced from natural sources, as opposed to synthetic chemicals. How do IPM programs work?

About The Program IPM Grant Information IPM Resources for New England Conditions (Websites, publications, videos, sources of supplies) Links ... Newsletter About the Program The aim of the IPM program is to teach New Hampshire farmers to handle pest problems while reducing growers' use of chemical pesticides, minimizing crop production costs, and maintaining crop quality and yield. Insects, pathogens, weeds and other pests are a constant threat for NH farmers and greenhouse operators. For many crops, the marketplace tolerates very little or no pest injury. Since 1945, chemical pesticides have offered easy solutions to pest problems, and growers have over-used them, with resultant higher costs and potential environmental harm or health risks. Reducing this over-use of pesticides can improve farm profitability and also improve long term sustainability of farming in NH. Commodities: Greenhouse crops, apples, and sweet corn have been the standard commodities since 1993. We added 3 new programs (field corn, strawberries, and fly control around animals) in 1996. We terminated (passed on to growers) sweet corn work in 1996, and piloted work in bedding plants in 1997. Audience: Our primary audience is New Hampshire farmers and farm workers. We also target agricultural businesses and consultants.

TDA AWARDS GRANTS FOR INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT RESEARCH AUSTIN — Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs announced today that the Texas Department of Agriculture has awarded $300,000 to allow 26 projects to conduct research into integrated pest management techniques that help producers use alternative methods of farming, such as biological insects and adjusted planting dates, to control insects, plant diseases and weeds. "As many commodity prices continue to be low, Texas farmers welcome ways offered by integrated pest management techniques to reduce their production costs through the use of less pesticides and other inputs," Combs said. "This year’s grant projects will affect a wide spectrum of crops grown across Texas, from traditional commodities such as cotton, corn and sorghum, to new alternative crops like sunflowers." Integrated pest management is a farming system that curbs pest populations by using a variety of practices including biological pest controls, pest-resistant crop plants, crop rotations, planting date adjustments and crop residue destruction. Under IPM, pesticides are used only when IPM methods fail to control problems that threaten to cause significant crop damage. The IPM grant projects awarded for 2002 are: ** Cotton Ginning Impacts on Boll Weevils ($35,000)—

IPM NEWS INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT National and Regional IPM ... FEEDBACK - tell us what you think Extension IPM programs at the University of Idaho were established in the early 1970's with a pilot area-wide project that brought together extension and research faculty in plant pathology and entomology with regulatory personnel at state and federal agencies. From those beginnings evolved our current statewide mission: to help citizens of Idaho manage pests in ways minimize threats to human health and environmental quality while maximizing the profitability of pest control action. We work to those goals by conducting educational programs and adaptive research that provides our citizens with the tools and training needed to apply integrated pest management, both on the farm and around their homes. Our program emphasizes key agricultural field and row crops but also includes forest and range lands managed for commercial, recreational and wildlife uses. And while we remain a rural state, rapidly growing urban populations in the Boise area and resort destinations in northern Idaho mandate educational outreach about urban pest management.

Spanish version of this article Integrated Pest Management (IPM) test plot in Colombia INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT FOR COLOMBIAN SMALL FARMERS Gerardo Sota farms on some of the most difficult terrain on earth the precipitous slopes of the Andes mountains in Colombia. No farm machine can negotiate the steep hillsides and narrow furrows. Every carefully terraced row must be plowed by hand. Every bean pod, ear of corn, or potato that grows is picked or dug by hand. He, his sons, and now his grandsons work year-round to keep their hectare-and-a-half farm productive. Despite the demanding conditions for farming, Sota loves his land. To him, every square metre is precious and, if treated well, will give something back. "Agriculture is my profession," Sota explains. "My father taught me how to farm the land. Farming is what I most like doing." Staple Food Sota grows potatoes, carrots, corn, and most importantly beans. Beans are a vital food crop in the Andean region of South America. In Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, beans provide both calories and protein in the diets of the rural poor. Many Andean families eat beans three times a day. By the turn of the century, demand is expected to exceed supply by 30%. Beans have been grown in rotation with corn on the mountain slopes for thousands of years. The stalks left from the harvested corn form climbing poles for the beans. The nodules on the bean roots take nitrogen from the air to fertilize the soil for the next corn crop.

IDRC Resources: Nayudamma Women and Integrated Pest Management: the Philippines Model Introduction Impact Prerequisites Potential users ... Resources Introduction Overuse and misuse of pesticides has become a common agricultural practice in many countries. Their widespread use often leads to new problems including poisonings, insect resistance to chemicals, and the loss of the pests' natural enemies. In the Philippines, it is usually women who decide on and buy agro-chemicals for the farm. Filipina researchers have been introducing rural women to a new system of integrated pest management (IPM), an environmentally and economically sound way to control agricultural pests. IPM involves using resistant varieties of crops, better water and fertilizer management, and need-based application of environmentally sensitive and less toxic pesticides. IPM controls pests using a combination of techniques that include: the natural enemies of a pest; special cropping practices (such as proper timing and rate of fertilizer application, and synchronized planting, rodent control, and harvesting at the community level); and minimal use of chemical pesticides based on regular monitoring of fields to diagnose pest damage. In the Philippines, IPM was first developed for rice and vegetable plots. When it is fine-tuned and adapted to specific agricultural, ecological, and economic conditions, as well as to the needs of farmers, it has the potential to lower risks to human health and the environment while providing higher yields and profits. In Asia, four countries have encouraged IPM as official policy: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Text version of page 2000 Pest Management Practices Survey Results For immediate release: May 31, 2001 For more information contact: Carmen Pennington or Curt Lund at 1-800-835-2612. The Pest Management Practices 2000 Summary is based largely on data compiled from a nationwide farmer survey conducted in February 2001. Results refer to responses from sampled producers concerning specific practices. The producers were first asked how many acres of a specific commodity they grew in 2000, followed by questions regarding the use of specific pest management practices, in a yes/no format. Pests were defined as weeds, insects, and diseases. If the respondent used a specific practice on a crop, it was assumed that the practice was used on all acres of that crop. For example, if a producer had 500 acres of wheat, and used field mapping of previous weed problems to assist in making weed management decisions, it was assumed that all 500 acres were mapped. The data are published in two tables for each crop: percent of acres receiving the specific pest management practice and percent of farms using the specific pest management practice. These percentages are published at the U.S. and regional levels. For barley, corn, soybeans, wheat, fruits and nuts, vegetables, and all other crops, the percentages refer only to farms and planted acres. For alfalfa hay and other hay, the percentages refer to farms and harvested acres. The complete report is available from our office or in the national release located on the Internet at www.usda.gov/nass/pubs/rptscal.htm.

USDA CSREES Integrated Pest Management Programs Related to the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) Implementation Program Descriptions Pest Management Alternatives Program. The Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP) was established in fiscal year 1996 to develop replacement tactics and technologies for pesticides under consideration for regulatory action by EPA, and for which effective alternatives are not available . As the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) is implemented, this program will become more critical as a support base for pest management technologies, and additional funds will be required to maintain a pipeline of alternatives. The program is structured to fund short-term (1-2 years) projects aimed at adaptive research and implementation of tactics that have shown promise in previous testing. The focus of the program is primarily replacement of individual tactics in a pest management program on a single crop basis, and not entire crop or cropping system pest management issues. For example, this program might fund an implementation program aimed at replacing an organophosphate insecticide for tomato with another chemical. Funding mechanism: Competitive grants, with technical and relevancy review. National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program.
