About me

Outline of objectives What is IPM and why should we incorporate these strategies? How do we identify problems before they get out of hand? Specific example of IPM in practice. Resources available for you to use.

What is IPM? IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests through biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools in a way that minimizes risks to the community. IPM Actions Scouting Diagnosis Thresholds Management Evaluation

So why do we need IPM? To control pests Enhance sustainable practices Reduce use of dangerous chemicals Increase efficiency of crop production Minimize environmental impacts

DECREASE… Pest outbreaks & disease epidemics Environmental contamination Human health hazards Pest mgmt. costs REDUCE RISK… Don’t Forget our other IPM tools IPM System INCREASE… Reliability Sustainability Cultural Methods Biological Control Chem

Generic IPM Program  Biological knowledge  Monitoring and inspection  Act to control pests when necessary  Choose least-risk options  Long-term, preventative practices  Evaluation and records  Pesticide management  Continual improvement

Biological Knowledge What part(s) of the plant are being attacked? What is attacking the plant?  Insects, mites  Disease Where does the pest feed/hide? How can pest be managed?

Identifying problems Look for damage Undersides of leaves Try to identify your bad guy Establish a threshold for damage

Common pests

Applying IPM

Natural Enemies and Pesticides- Thrips Species Florida flower thrips Frankliniella bispinosa Melon thrips Thrips palmi Tobacco thrips Frankliniella fusca

Resistant Crop Competitors Natural enemies Resistant varieties Vulnerable Crop Invasive Pest Integrated pest management program Cultural practices Scouting, ID of pests & NEs Conservation of NEs Augmentation of NEs Reduced-risk insecticides Resistance management Pesticide program New insecticides New formulations Application methods Resistance management Example of IPM?

Amblyseius swirskii

Amblyseius swirskii Effectiveness  Very high numerical response to availability of food  Highly efficacious against western flower thrips, greenhouse whiteflies and tobacco whiteflies  In combination with: Orius spp. against western flower thrips Whitefly parasites against whiteflies P. persimilis or A. californicus against two-spotted spider mites  Good establishment on pollen  Whiteflies can substitute for pollen in peppers  Good results in North and South Europe  May replace A. cucumeris, depending on release permits

Description of U.S Companies Serving the Southeast  Number = 49 producers and suppliers  Size = 10 employees average  Revenue = $20-25 million, 3 > $1.5 million  Species = 56 (+ 21 microbials), 5/20 producers >3 species, ca 50% produce one, few new species.

Markets for Natural Enemies  Entomopathogenic nematodes- Heterorhabditis, Steinernema  Predatory mites- Amblyseius, Galendromus, Neoseiulus, Phytoseiulus, Hypoaspis  Predatory insects- Chrysoperla, Cryptolaemus, Hippodamia, Orius, Dalotia, Coccinella, Delphastus, Feltiella, Podisus, Rhyzobius,Stethorus  Parasitoids- Aphelinus, Aphytis, Encarsia, Eretmocerus, Aphidius, Pediobius, Trichogramma  Fly parasites- Muscidifurax, Splangia, Nasonia  Biopesticides- Bacillus, Beauveria, Trichoderma

Major Commercial Natural Enemies

Guidelines for Purchasing and Using Commercial Natural Enemies and Biopesticides Guide on how to go about purchasing natural enemies (insects, mites, nematodes) and biopesticides What do I need to know?  What plant/habitat is being attacked?  What is causing the problem?  What kind of natural enemy do I want to use?

Guidelines for Purchasing and Using Commercial Natural Enemies and Biopesticides in Florida and Other States  More than 49 biological control companies provide nematodes, mites, insects, and bioinsecticides for pest management in Florida and the Southeast.  Nematodes are sold by 28 companies (5 species).  Predators are sold by 31 companies, 26 supply mites (10 species) and 31 supply insects (15 species)  Parasitic wasps are sold by 31 companies (23 spp.).

Customer Service  Many companies provide detailed information on how to use their products.  The best companies deliver excellent customer service for site-specific biocontrol.  The marketplace ultimately determines the usefulness of commercial natural enemies.
