Abstract
This presentation discusses various integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that were developed in response to situations where using conventional pest control practices, or materials were impractical or could be deemed unsafe.
I have been a practitioner of IPM for over 35 years now.
I use less conventional pest control products than I previously did.
My philosophy is and has been to move towards a less or non-toxic solution in my horticultural endeavors.
I will now discuss some of these methods I have come up with to deal with several situations where conventional methods may have been impractical.
These methods while admittedly may be unorthodox, could be adapted to your particular horticultural operation, in order for you to deal with a similar situation.
