What is a pest? • Any organism that is
detrimental to humans – destroys crops & structures – poses threats to human health
and livestock – reduces aesthetic and
recreational value

Pest Identification is Critical • Use books, extension
bulletins, field guides, Web, etc.
• Have pests examined by specialists – Handle samples carefully
![Page 17: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Steps in IPM • Identify the pest and know its biology Monitor and survey for pests • Set IPM goal: prevent, suppress • Implement-select control strategies, timing,
Economics • Environmental impacts • Evaluate
![Page 18: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Steps in pest management Monitoring • when is the pest likely to appear? • May be tied to particular stage of plant
development • May be related to weather or environment

What is your goal for integrated
pest management? • Prevent • Suppress
![Page 22: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Components of IPM-Monitor the Pest
• Action threshold: unacceptable pest level – do something
• Sometimes the action threshold may be zero!
• Action thresholds vary by pest, site, and season
![Page 23: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Economic Threshold- control needed to prevent economic injury
• Economic Injury Level – $ of losses =
$ of control measures – Apply control measure prior
to reaching economic injury level

Develop the IPM Goal • Prevention: examples, resistant plants,
sanitation, exclusion, pesticide treatments • Suppression=reduction: cultivation, biological
control, pesticides
![Page 25: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Steps in IPM • Identify the pest and know its biology • Monitor and survey for pests • Set IPM goal: prevent, suppress Implement
– Select control strategies – Timing
• Economics • Environmental impacts • Evaluate

Cultural control: sanitation • Sanitation: eliminate food, water, and shelter • destroy infected crop residues or infected
plant materials • Destroy weeds to reduce pest refuges
![Page 32: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cultural controls- alter conditions or pest behavior
• Examples for black rot • Plant resistant or less susceptible varieties • Prune out dead canes and mummies • Remove fruit mummies from the ground

Chemical controls • Pesticide • any material that
is applied to kill, attract, repel, or regulate pests
![Page 39: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Considerations for Pesticide Use • Identify the pest and select
the appropriate product
• Avoid developing resistant pest populations
• If using pesticides, use the correct application rate and timing
![Page 40: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Pesticide Classification • General Use
– normally lower toxicity – no special certification or permits required
• Restricted Use (RUP): – may cause adverse effects to human health or the
environment – sold only to certified applicators
![Page 41: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“The label is the law”
• The site must be stated on the label
• The target pest does not need to be listed
• Any application method may be used, unless prohibited by the label
![Page 42: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
“The label is the law” • Applications may be made at a rate less than
that stated on the label, not more!
• Tank mixtures are OK, unless the label says otherwise
![Page 43: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Mode of action: how it works to control the pest • Systemic pesticides-absorbed through tissues and
transported elsewhere where the pest encounters it • Contact pesticides must come in direct contact with
the target pest
Pesticide terms

Pesticide Resistance: the ability of a pest to tolerate a pesticide that once controlled it
![Page 45: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Pesticide Resistance: Intensive pesticide use- kills susceptible pests in a population, leaves resistant
ones to reproduce
![Page 46: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Pesticide Resistance: • Use of similar modes of action • Frequency of applications • Persistence of the chemical • Pest rate of reproduction &
offspring numbers
![Page 47: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Pesticides vary by selectivity • Non-selective – kills all related pests – for
example some herbicides kill all green plants that gets a sufficient dose
• Selective – kills only certain weeds, insects, plant pathogens – for example other herbicides only kill broadleaf weeds not grasses
![Page 48: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Pesticides vary by persistence: • how long they remain active in the
environment • Residual pesticides – remain active for weeks,
months, years • Non-residual – inactivated immediately or
within a few days
![Page 49: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Considerations for integrating chemical and biological control
• Use selective insecticides • Low residual toxicity • Biopesticides • Application Timings • Natural enemy refuges
![Page 50: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
• Regardless of the methods chosen, remember:
• Identify the pest and know its biology • Monitor and survey for pests • Set IPM goal: prevent, suppress
IPM in the vineyard
![Page 51: An introduction to pests and pest management · A brief introduction to pests and pest management Diane Brown, Michigan State University Extension . 2 ... biological control, pesticides](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071009/5fc696553e34eb265c27b152/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
IPM in the vineyard • Consider the economics- action thresholds • Environmental impacts- what else are you
impacting

Record and Evaluate Results
• what worked; what did not • May take time to see results • Might be ineffective or
damaging to target crop, beneficial insects, etc.
• Use what you learned for future pest management planning
