CULTURAL CONTROL Use pest free plants Use resistant varieties Destroy refuse Image/Slide from Integrated Pest Management - An Introduction (long version) (18.7 MB) - Thomas Weissling, Ft. Lauderdale REC http://presentations.ifas.ufl.edu

Physical control Usually most labor intensive Image 2 from www.iicd-volunteer.org/Programs/ Images/Nicaragua/Hoeing.jpg Image 2 from www.gardensalive.com Usually most labor intensive

Physical control And don’t forget about the environmentally friendly SQUASHING method of insect control

Pathogens Usually very specific leave a trail of bodies may take a few days to provide control (lag time) kill, reduce reproduction, reduce insect health Image from Integrated Pest Management - An Introduction (long version) (18.7 MB) - Thomas Weissling, Ft.

Chemical control Should be used as a last resort and with the lowest impact on natural enemies and YOU! www.claybennett.com/images/archivetoons/ pesticides.jpg
