Integrated Plant ManagementDefined
“IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and
environmental risks.”Reference: http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/aginfo/ndipm/ipmdefinition.htm

Growing Degree Day
“The number of degrees the average temperature is above a baseline temperature. Used to predict insect and plant development.”
![Page 8: Integrated Plant Management C&P](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5559dec0d8b42a34498b49fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Upper and Lower Threshold Temperature
“The high and low temperature at which insect/plant development occurs.”

Calculating Growing Degree Days (GDD)
Tmax +TminGDD = ____
2 -Tbase
Tmax = Daily High
Tmin = Daily Low
Tbase = 50 degrees
•Sine Wave Method is more accurate. You can find calculators on the web.

Chemical Application
• Systemic at label rate (Accelepryn, Arena etc.)
– All mapped areas, mostly south facing.• Target White grub• GDD 1375-1575 GDD*
* At peak flight observation
![Page 54: Integrated Plant Management C&P](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5559dec0d8b42a34498b49fd/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Chemical Application Cont.
• Contact Insecticide– Label rate for Masked Chafer Grub
– Apply to area that has visible damage over your threshold.
– Not really a GDD timed application.– Very hard to control since contact is needed
and thatch can capture most of the chemical.

Biological Control
• Entomopathogenic Nematodes – Heterorhabditis bacteriophora
• Endophytic grasses• Mach 2 (halofenozide)
– Interrupts molting process
• Parasitic Wasps– Typhia Wasp
