4 year, Full and Part-timeThis is a four-year academic undergraduate science degree specializing in integrated pest management or IPM. While the curriculum concentrates on pest reduction for the greenhouse and nursery, turf management, and landscape installation and maintenance industries, which is in line with the School of Horticulture’s main focus, IPM strategies and pest behaviours share common attributes throughout all fields where pests have become problematic. Among the more common types of pests in horticulture are insects, mites, rodents, viruses, fungi, bacteria, and weeds. IPM is a systems approach where pest biology, plant quality, sustainability, and the environment are integrated in the design and implementation of pest suppression programs. IPM balances and protects the economic, ecological, and aesthetic interests of industry and society. Students will seek more natural and less environmentally threatening means to manage pest infestation.The curriculum focuses primarily on the underlying science and techniques used in integrated pest management. It includes two work experience practicums and a research project. With additional bridging courses, students will be prepared for graduate programs in biology, agriculture, and horticulture. This program is unique in Western Canada.September 2008 1st and 2nd yearSeptember 20103rd and 4th year
