Pest Management Approach

• Scouting
• Diagnosis
• Thresholds
• Management

Utilizing Borer Traps as an Alternative Pest
Control Method
12
Management using the IPM Pyramid
Chemical
Biological Control
Mechanical Physical
Biologically Based IPM Technologies
13
Toxicity
Hard Chemical direct toxins, kill on contact,
long residual, broad-spectrum carbamates,
organophosphates Low Impact Chemical baits,
soaps, oils
Biochemical hormones, enzymes, pheromones,
insect growth regulators (IGRs) Microbial
products originate from bacteria, fungi,
nematode, protozoa virus
Chemical
Natural and IntroducedPredators, parasites,
nematodes
Biological
Exclusion, physical removal Insects - traps,
barriers, wash Weeds - mulch, till, hoe, pull
Diseases - prune
Physical - Mechanical
Plant selection for site pest resistance,
sanitation, watering/pruning/fertilizing,
diversity

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

16
Mechanical Control

• Manually cutting or uprooting the plants, this
  can be accomplished with equipment or done by
  hand!

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

Chemical Control

• Several methods of chemical control
• Stump treat
• Hack-and-squirt
• Arial application
• Stump treatment slideshow
• Hack-and-squirt slideshow

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
