The principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the applications of these principles for pest management in vegetable and fruit production and turfgrass are presented. The essential building blocks for the creation of IPM programs are considered; these include surveys of pests, diseases and weeds, alternative practices and non-chemical means of control, monitoring and forecasting methods, and strategies for management and their implementation. The course concludes with some examples of existing IPM programs in practice. This course provides a holistic view of pest management, emphasizing the integration of different methods for maintaining pests, diseases and weeds below damaging levels, with the goal of minimizing the use of chemical pesticides that disrupt the environment.
