This site is the prototype of the Global Crop Pest Identification and Information Services in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) on the World Wide Web. Using this prototype as a model, we are now interested in working with agriculturalists in third world countries to help modify, if necessary, the format of this WWW site and add approximately 500 additional diagnostic and information 'units' for the major vegetable, fruit and field crops pests in the tropical and subtropical countries. Each of the units can focus on a particular insect, disease or weed pest important to that crop. The project will be developed by scientists at Cornell University , Zamorano (the PanAmerican School of Agriculture in Honduras) and other collaborative institutions from the developing countries.

APS News Release: Integrated Pest Management

http://www.apsnet.org/media/press/ipm.asp

Extractions: St. Paul, MN (August 15, 2001) - It used to be that most growers had a simple way of dealing with pests that plagued their crops; they relied on a myriad of chemicals, applying them routinely in an effort to protect their harvest. But times have changed. Environmental and health concerns have lead to a decreased use of chemicals, while simultaneously our knowledge of non-chemical disease control methods has increased substantially. But scientists wonder if these new methods will prove effective in the long run. Many consider this one of the key agricultural issues of the decade, prompting the worlds largest group of plant health scientists to hold a special symposium at the end of August to discuss the economics of what is called Integrated Pest Management, or IPM. At one time common practice held that growers applied chemicals to their crops on a rotating basis whether they had pests or not. But with IPM, chemicals are used only when a pest infestation has been detected, and then the chemical of choice is likely to be a new, so called reduced-risk variety, a name given by the EPA to chemicals deemed safer to workers and to the environment because they either require a smaller dose, degrade more quickly in the environment, or are less toxic than other products on the market. But the key concept in IPM programs is the word integrated, since the overall IPM strategy calls for growers to rely first on techniques like frequent monitoring, biotechnology and sanitation to manage potential pests and to use chemicals only when necessary.
POSSIBILITY OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT IN GERBERA CROPS
ISHS International Symposium on Protected Cultivation of Ornamentals in Mild WinterClimates POSSIBILITY OF integrated pest management IN GERBERA crops.
http://www.actahort.org/books/246/246_38.htm

Extractions: The first objective of this work is to control the american leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii Burgess (Dipt: Agromyzidae) on gerbera cut flower culture. L trifolii is a new species in our Region. It appeared in 1981. In 1985 it became a general pest, extending its influence to other crops. It caused panic among growers due to the resistance it showed to all pesticides commonly used. In 1986, an assay on Gerbera in an experimental greenhouse was conducted. The aim was to check for the presence of any local parasites potentially controlling this new pest. Results were highly satisfactory. Several parasites turned up. Diglyphus isaea (Walker) (Hym. Eulophidae) appeared to be the most effective at maintaining the pest under control. All along the year there was no need to apply any insecticide or acaricide treatment. In commercial greenhouses, at least one treatment is applied weekly to the crop. A second assay, in a commercial crop is been going on since the end of 1987. This one is being used to confirm the performance of D isaea , and to elucidate how to introduce the mecanisms of integrated control to the traditional crop management techniques.

Extractions: The chief pests affected protected ornamental crops in the Canary Islands are Homoptera order (Coccids, Aphids, "white-flies") and some more specific species such as the "leaf-miner" Liriomyza trifolii Burgess as well as mites basically of the Tetranychus genus. Many of these are controlled spontaneously by their natural enemies. Other species require more traditional biological control. Also discussed ares use of insecticides and cultural practices in conjunction with these natural enemies.

Extractions: and Aster Yellows Aster yellows is a viral-like disease and is caused by a phytoplasma (previously called mycoplasma-like organism) and is spread by aster leafhoppers. Introduction The degree of severity of disease can not be assumed from the number of aster leafhoppers present due to many different factors. Factors such as weather conditions, infectivity rate and precipitation amounts are variable and differ from year to year. Background and Biology Links: Adult: the aster leafhopper is olive-green or straw coloured with six dark coloured spots on the forehead. The abdomen is charcoal and the wings are opaque. They fly between plants in short bursts, depending on wind conditions. They may overwinter as eggs, but substantial numbers migrate from the south, usually arriving in early to mid June. The aster leafhopper will not fly at temperatures below 15 degrees C. The migrants are attracted to grasses and forages, such as winter wheat and alfalfa, for breeding purposes. The eggs takes two weeks and five nymphal stages to reach the first generation, which appear in late June to early July. These cause most of the crop damage, due to their preference for carrots, lettuce and celery as a feeding ground. The feeding itself is not economically damaging, but in the feeding process the plants are infected with aster yellows.

Extractions: Protected cultivation is practised in many hundreds of thousands of hectares throughout the world under quite different social, economic and technical conditions. Contributions to the book reflect such a diversity of situations: from the high-technology glasshouses of northern Europe and America to the simple plastic tunnels of the Mediterranean area and temperate eastern Asia. Furthermore, the editors have entrusted each chapter to authors whose activity and perspectives could be complementary: pathologists and entomologists, from private and public sectors, and from differentiated geographical regions. Probably no book published to date has offered such a diverse yet integrated approach to pest and disease control in greenhouse crops.

http://www.sardi.sa.gov.au/pages/horticulture/pathology/hort_pn_ipmoverview.htm

Extractions: For many years the main approach potato farmers (and others) used to control pests consisted of either regular, routine and frequent applications of insecticide or else waiting until there was a problem and then attempting to eradicate the pest concerned. The approach that IPM takes is to look carefully for pests throughout the season and make decisions on what to do, based on the monitoring results.

Extractions: Growing Better, Every Day! At Wegmans, we believe in providing great food that's good for you and good for the earth at affordable prices. This commitment led us to partner with several land-grant universities (like Cornell and Penn State) and some of our local growers to support a sustainable approach to farming called Integrated Pest Management (IPM for short). Through IPM, growers strive to limit the amount of chemicals they apply to their farmland by taking other steps to reduce pest damage and care for the land. With IPM, you can make a difference! By choosing IPM-grown produce, you're supporting the efforts of a dedicated group of growers whose vision for the future is one that we share at Wegmans! IPM fields get fewer pesticides; exactly how much less depends on the crop and the time in question. Cornell University researchers share these examples: Pesticides are used only when pests trigger a pre-determined "threshold level" one which, if exceeded, threatens significant damage. The amount of pesticide used can change from year to year, but what's important is that, overall, fewer pesticides are used.

Integrated Pest Management Strategies To Increase Pulses Production

http://www.icrisat.org/text/news/2000/ipm_research.htm

Extractions: Integrated Pest Management strategies to increase pulses production A TIME honored farmers' practice of managing pigeonpea podborer has come in handy for the farmers of Hamsanapalli in Banvaspeta mandal of Mehboobnagar district, Andhra Pradesh. This cost-effective, eco-friendly method is now spreading to over 200 villages in four districts of Andhra Pradesh. Helicoverpa armigera (gram podborer), the serious pest of pigeonpea, destroys all the pods despite intensive insecticides application. Inappropriate and indiscriminate use of insecticides has led to the development of resistance, creation of secondary pests, loss in bio- diversity, and increase in human health hazards. Besides, the chemical control was prohibitively expensive for the farmers, and it made pigeonpea cultivation unattractive. At the same time farmers cannot afford to skip this crop, as it is one of the most important legume crops, and a source of inexpensive protein in the tropics and subtropics. Pigeonpea losses due to Helicoverpa infestation ranged between 20 to 100 per cent, and many growers burnt their fingers. Some farmers who lost their crop committed suicide. The pest spelt doom for the crop.

You can browse through the basket of options, or search for possible solutions to your IPM problems. You can also add a description of an IPM technology that you have developed or learnt about. Other plants amongst or near your main crop can have many beneficial effects. By choosing an intercrop carefully you may be able to attract more natural enemies to your field, or repel pests from. A different trap crop planted near your main crop may attract pests so strongly that they stay there and do not attack your crop. A cover crop can suppress weeds, and a legume crop will enrich your soil. Maize farmers in Kenya are testing intercropping strategies to control damage by larval stem-borers of moth species such as the indigenous Busseola fusca and the introduced Chilo partellus. The 'push-pull' strategy was developed by ICIPE (International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology), IACR-Rothamsted (Institute for Arable Crops Research, UK) and KARI (Kenya Agricultural Research Institute).

Extractions: What is Integrated Pest Management? Integrated Pest Management - better known as IPM - was introduced on a large scale in Indonesia in the late 1980s and is now being promoted by FAO in more than 40 countries worldwide. IPM enables farmers to monitor and control the pests in their fields, keeping the use of expensive and potentially damaging and dangerous chemical pesticides to an absolute minimum. A Ghanaian farmer weeds the IPM project's experimental rice field (FAO/18429/P. Cenini) In developing countries, under village conditions, safe use of hazardous pesticides is practically impossible. Protective clothing is prohibitively expensive, and the tropical heat makes it almost unwearable. A 1993 study in Indonesia showed that 21 percent of spraying operations resulted in three or more symptoms associated with pesticide poisoning. Eighty-four percent of farmers were also found to be storing chemicals in their homes, in unsafe conditions where children could reach them. In order to train farmers effectively in IPM, an innovative, field-based, participatory training technique was developed - the Farmers' Field School (FFS). Meeting once a week for a 12-week crop season, from transplant to harvest, farmers learn the basic science and the techniques on which successful IPM is based. Their first task is to plant an experimental rice field which will be their classroom.

Fruit and shoot blight caused by the fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea was first observed in Northern California in 1983 and within 12 years has spread statewide. "This disease could destroy the state's pistachio industry," Michailides said. The pistachio industry has provided Michailides' laboratory with $187,000 to fund four studies aimed at halting the devastating disease. He and a staff of five are studying the fungus' lifecycle, the effect of environmental conditions on its spread and development, effects of plant nutrition and drought on the fungus, and biological control methods. As part of the latter trial scientists have found that a bacterium, when present in pistachio buds, appears to preclude
