Integrated Pest Management & Biological Pest Control Notes
- Philosophy of IPM - reduce the pest population to an economically acceptable level.
- Biological Pest Control - the International intro of a predator species to control a pest species. Microorganisms, plants,and animals have been used for pest control.
- Advantages of BPM - control pest population using pesticides; potentially use with organic agriculture
- Disadvantages of BPM - non-target species to be impacted by the introduced control species; can be costly to implement and control.
- spread of pests are more difficult because of intercropping
- Integrated Pest Management is a holistic control to pest management involving biological control, cultivation techniques, and synthetic pesticides
- IPM Strategies is a creation of habitat for predators of pest population using Pest Resistant crop varieties.
- Pest and crop are as considered as part of an ecological system - Crop rotation is disruption of pest population
