Using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies
IPM means getting to know your pests.
- When is the pest MOST vulnerable, infective, or invasive?
- When is the pest most vulnerable to least-toxic management strategies?
- What is the least-toxic management tool that can be used successfully?
IPM optimizes plant health through the following:
- Managing garden and landscape soils to promote drainage and aeration
- Maximizing soil health by adding organic matter and properly timed fertilizers.
- Pruning and irrigating based on the needs of particular plants.
- Knowing the plant's level of susceptibility to pest damage.
