IPM - copy
Refers to the use of combination of tactics to reduce/manage pest population so that economic damage is avoided and adverse effect in the environment is minimized
Pest Management
Uses a combination of biological, mechanical, cultural, and chemical means to control pests.
Integrated Pest Management
Helps to reduce pesticide resistance, reduces chemical costs, limits chemical exposure, and reduces environmental exposure to pesticides
Integrated Pest Management
IPM means considering all available pest control techniques and other measures that discourage the development of pest populations, while minimizing risks to human health and the environment (FAO)
Integrated Pest Management
For farmers, IPM is the best combination to manage diseases, insects, weeds and other pests.
Cultural, Biological, and chemical measures
it takes into account all relevant control tactics and methods that are locally available, evaluating their potential cost-effectiveness.
Integrated Pest Management
Does not, however, consist of any absolute or rigid criteria. It is a flexible system that makes good use of local resources and the latest research, technology, knowledge and experience
Integrated Pest Management
is a site-specific strategy for managing pests in the most cost-effective, environmentally sound, and socially acceptable way.
IPM
Implementation of this is lies with farmers, who adopt practices they view as practical and valuable to their activities
IPM
An economically viable, environmentally sound and socially acceptable approach to crop protection (ICCPM)
IPM
Careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticide and othe interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human health and the environment.
IPM
Emphasizes the growth of a healthy crop with the least possible disruption to agro-ecosystems and encourages natural pest control mechanism. (FAO, 2012).
IPM
Why IPM is important?
To produce more crops to meet the demand and increase yields requires agricultural practices or requirements to maximixe production and minimize losses while protecting environment.
Tolerant/resistant cultivars - Fertilization, Weed Management, Irrigation, Crop rotation, etc.
Preventive (indirect) crop protection
certified healthy weeds/plants - Enhancement of natural enemies
Preventive (indirect) crop protection
Warning/Forecasting/ Early diagnosis systems, Threshold values, resistance management, area-wide control
Risk Assessment/ Decision Making
Biotechnical, Physical, Biological
Responsive direct crop protection
Chemical
Responsive direct crop protection
Provides multiple benefits for society and the environment. It is vital for the long term future of the plant science industry.
Benefits of IPM
Improved crop profitability due to better
Pest control measures and appreciate use of crop protection products
Stable, reliable, and quality crop yields
decreased severity of pest infestations
reduced potential for problems of pest resistance or resurgence
Increased consumer confidence in the safety and quality of food and fiber products
Multiple benefits for society and environment
Crop protection companies that integrate IPM principles into marketing and customer support for their products also stand to benefit
Benefits of IPM
integrate IPM principles into marketing and customer support for their products
Crop protection companies
Sustained market share and access
Less risk of restrictions or deregistration
New opportunities for established and novel products, techniques and services
Longer product lifecycles
Decreased resistance of pests to crop protection products and biotech plants
Increased public confidence in, and credibility of, the crop protection industry
Benefits of IPM ( Crop protection Companies)
IPM requires competence in three areas
Prevention, Monitoring, and Intervention
Prevent the build-up of pests
Prevention
Includes a range of practical strategies that suit local conditions
Prevent
Understand conditions, select varieties, and manage crops
prevention
Monitor crops for both pests and natural control mechanisms
Monitoring
Involves scoutting for pests (insects, diseases, and weeds) to determine of when and how intervention shoul occur
Monitoring
Inspect fields, identify issues, and determine action
Monitoring
Intervene when control measures are needed
Intervention
Choose method, plan approach, and intervene responsibly
Intervention
Many aspects of crop management are designed to prevent initial outbreaks of insects, diseases or weeds
Prevention
Practical strategies can be combined and optimized for an IPM program.
Prevention
The goal is to prevent pest populations from building up to economically damaging levels
Prevention
Growing crops in locations where they are best suited to climate, soil, and topography provides them with optimal conditions from the start. Appropriate land preparation builds on these conditions
Crop Location (Prevention)
Choosing beneficial crop varieties, such as those with disease and pest resistance, has always been a cornerstone of IPM
Variety Selection (Prevention)
These varieties can be derived from traditional cross-breeding or modern biotechnology: pest-resistant and herbicide-tolerant varieties
Variety Selection (Prevention)
Biotech crops can also facilitate reduced or no-till practices, helping to maintain soil health and prevent erosion.
Variety Selection (Prevention)
can also facilitate reduced or no-till practices, helping to maintain soil health and prevent erosion.
Biotech crops
Planting similar crops alongside each other can substantially increase pests and should be avoided if possible.
Strategic Planting and crop rotation
Some farmers sow different crops in alternate rows or undersow a crop like maize with a legume such as cowpea to help improve soil fertility and reduce weeds. Such system can help reduce pests
Strategic Planting and crop rotation
Growing different crops in rotation also helps reduce the build-up of pests, especially those in the soil such as root-feeding insects and fungi.
Strategic Planting and crop rotation
Rotations can reduce weed problems and increase the range of weed control methods that can be used
