What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?
- IPM is a pest management program that integrates multiple practices for pest control.
- These systems aim to suppress pest populations below a predetermined economic injury level (EIL).
- IPM extends the concept of integrated control to all classes of pests including plant pathogens, insects, and weeds.
- It also allows for safer pest control and is expanded to include all control tactics such as pesticides, host-plant resistance, and cultural manipulations.
The Ohio Grape IPM Program will provide information and resources for managing diseases, insects, and weeds.It is a comprehensive program designed to encourage collaboration among Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) scientists with different specializations to better address the pest management needs of the grape industry.
