11.  Scouting  Diagnosis  Thresholds  Management Pest Management Approach Utilizing Borer Traps as an Alternative Pest Control Method

12. REDUCE RISK Disease Epidemic Environmental Hazards Health Hazards REDUCE COST INCREASE Sustainability Biodiversity Chemical Mechanical & Physical Biological Control Biologically Based IPM Technologies Management using the IPM Pyramid

13. Cultural Physical - Mechanical Biological Chemical Plant selection for site & pest resistance, sanitation, watering/pruning/fertilizing, diversity Exclusion, physical removal: Insects - traps, barriers, wash Weeds - mulch, till, hoe, pull Diseases - prune Natural and Introduced: Predators, parasites, nematodes Biochemical: hormones, enzymes, pheromones, insect growth regulators (IGRs) Microbial: products originate from bacteria, fungi, nematode, protozoa & virus Hard Chemical: direct toxins, kill on contact, long residual, broad-spectrum – carbamates, organophosphates Low Impact Chemical: baits, soaps, oils Toxicity Jane Morse- UF/IFAS Pinellas Co Extension

14. Use IPM to minimize pests and damage  Once you have your new exotic (weed, insect, disease, snail…) identified, people in your area will want to begin management tactics  These can be recommendations from anywhere in the IPM pyramid  Often scientists develop a multi tactic approach like the TAME Melaleuca program

15. Multi tactic example - Melaleuca  TAME Melaleuca  Mechanical  Biological  Chemical http://tame.ifas.ufl.edu

16. Mechanical Control  Manually cutting or uprooting the plants, this can be accomplished with equipment or done by hand! http://tame.ifas.ufl.edu/html/management/mechanical.htm

17. Biological Control  Two biological agents released and established  melaleuca weevil  melaleuca psyllid  The melaleuca bud-gall fly, has been released but has not established  The stem-gall fly is still being studied for possible future release http://tame.ifas.ufl.edu/html/management/biological.htm

18. Chemical Control  Several methods of chemical control  Stump treat  Hack-and-squirt  Arial application  Stump treatment slideshow Stump treatment slideshow  Hack-and-squirt slideshow Hack-and-squirt slideshow http://tame.ifas.ufl.edu/html/management/herbicide.htm

19. Pesticide Information Office (PIO)  Be sure you know about pesticide rules and licensing before recommending any chemical control options  This includes herbicides for the management of aquatic and terrestrial plants  EDIS, your local County Extension Office and the PIO can answer all of your pesticide questions EDIS http://pested.ifas.ufl.edu/
