Integrated Pest Management
Essential Standard 9.00- Explain Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and pesticides.
Objective 9.01Discuss Integrated Pest Management
Strategies
Integrated Pest ManagementMost effective and environmentally
friendly method approach to controlFocuses on pest prevention
Identifying, preventing and monitoring pests
Least amount of danger to the environment.
Steps to IPM1. Identification2. Prevention of pests
Controlled by using cultural methods such as crop rotation, pest resistant varieties and planting pest-free rootstock
3. Monitoring new infestations 4. Traps may be used to check pest
population
Steps to IPM5. Use the less risky pest control first
Including pheromones that will disrupt pest mating
Mechanical controls including traps.6. If these methods are not effective,
additional control methods Target spraying Broadcast spraying would be used as a
last resort
Biological ControlLady beetles or lady bugs
Both adults and larva feedSoft bodied insects (aphids), mites and
eggs.Parasitic wasp
CaterpillarButterfly or moth egg or pupaBeetle egg Other insects in the egg, larva or pupa
stage
Biological ControlPraying mantis
Will eat just about any pestGreen lacewing larvae
Predators that feed mainly on soft bodied insects, mites, and eggs
Predatory mitesAttack spider mites at any stage of
development inside a greenhouse or outside
Safely Using Agriculture Chemicals
Objective 9.02Discuss key signal words and safety
precautions on pesticide labels.
PesticideAny material used to control pests
(plants or animals that are harmful to human beings or to the crops that they cultivate)
May be natural or manmade
Key Signal WordsDanger
Has a skull and crossbones symbol and the word POISON in red on the label
It is highly toxicOrallyDermallyInhalationCauses severe eye or skin burn
Key Signal WordsWarning
Is moderately toxic orally, dermally, through inhalation and moderate eye and skin irritation
The word WARNING will be written on the label
Key Signal WordsCaution
Is slightly toxic to relatively non-toxic orally, dermally or through inhalation or causes slight eye and skin irritation
The word CAUTION will be written on the label.
Key Signal Words
Reading a Pesticide Label 1. Includes the name and address of

Example is Ortho3. Classification
General pesticides Purchased and applied by the general public
Restricted pesticides Purchased by a licensed certified applicator only.
It may be applied by or under the direct supervision of a licensed certified applicator
Reading a Pesticide Label 4. Active ingredients5. Common name6. Chemical name7. Type of pesticide
Insecticide—kills insects. Herbicide—kills unwanted plants.
Selective herbicides kill specific weeds or plants. Non selective herbicides kill all plants with which
they come in contact. Fungicide controls fungi
Reading a Pesticide Label 8. Form of substance
Dust Wettable powder Fumigant Liquid Granular
9. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registration number.
Reading a Pesticide Label 10.Establishment number—(EPA Est.
No.111-NC-1)which appears on the pesticide label or
container identifies the facility that produced the product
11.Storage and disposal precaution12.Hazard statement including “Keep
Out of the Reach of Children”13.Net contents
Reading a Pesticide Label 14. Statement of practical treatment
What to do if a person swallows or is poisoned
15. Environmental Hazard Indicates that the product may have
undesirable effects in the environment Especially to wildlife such as bees, fish and birds
16. General Environmental Statement Watch for run off Avoid applying on windy days Keep pesticides out of storm water sewer
drains
Reading a Pesticide Label 17. Physical or Chemical Hazard
Informs individuals of specific fire or explosion hazards
18. Worker protection procedures PPE-personal protective equipment
Masks Coveralls Respirators Gloves Safety glasses or goggles Rubber boots
Reading a Pesticide Label 19. Reentry time (REI)
The time that must past before reentering a treated area
20. First aid statement21. Storage and disposal22. Directions for use including mixing
and application
Pesticide SafetyThe most important rule in
pesticide safety is to read and follow all directions on the pesticide label because all other rules are included in this one
