What is IPM?
• Integrated Pest Management
• A systems approach to pest control method that
uses all available technologies to efficiently and
economically reduce the pest population while
respecting health and the environment
• Holistic approach – not just for “Hippies”

Steps In IPM Process
1. Understand the pest (ID, lifecycle, damage,
timing and association with the crop)
2. Conduct field monitoring (scouting)
3. Using injury and action thresholds
4. Least disruptive control strategy
(Cultural, Chemical, Biological, Genetic)
5. Evaluate actions
6. Keep records
![Page 5: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Control Strategies
• Preventative Measures
• Cultural
• Genetic
• Biological
• Chemical
![Page 6: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Preventative Measures
• Some growers don’t realize that their current
cropping practices are preventative or cultural
control measures for pest control
• Examples include:
– Certified seed
– Sanitation
– Variety/hybrid selection
– Planting timing
– Residue and weed management
– Crop rotation
– Good plant health
![Page 7: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Crop Rotation
• most important method to manage pests
– Insects, diseases, weeds
• either removes susceptible crop from field or
takes away primary host of major pest
![Page 8: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Crop Rotation
• works best for pests with narrow host range,
those that lay eggs in soil before crop is
planted and less mobile pests
• Examples?
• Best example is rootworm control in Ontario
![Page 9: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Tillage
• removes residue and exposes soil insects to
natural elements
• modifies moisture and temperature of the soil
• tillage for pest reduction needs to be timed
according to pest cycle (doesn’t always work)
• negative impacts may outweigh the pest
control benefits
![Page 17: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Genetic Control
• Resistant or tolerant varieties
– SCN varieties, phytophthora resistant varieties
• Genetically modified plants
– Bt corn, RR soys
• Technology can be expensive at first but in
many cases leads to less use of chemical
control
![Page 18: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Glandular Haired Alfalfa
• Traditionally bred varieties with high
densities of hairs of leaves and stems
– to physically resist or tolerate leafhopper feeding -
hairs act as barriers
• Not genetically engineered – Selective
breeding for specific desirable traits

PLH Resistant Alfalfa Varieties
• Glandular hairs on leaves and stems provide
tolerance to PLH
• Treatment thresholds for HR varieties 4X > (after
establishment)
• PLH resistant varieties for:
– area that typically have significant PLH damage
– farmers that do not scout or spray to control PLH
• Pros/Cons

ECB Bt Corn
• ECB was costing US $1 billion annually in
yield losses and control expenditures
• Using high dose of Bt in the plant (99% kill)
• Providing adequate non-Bt refuge, planted in
a way to ensure mating between susceptible
and potential resistant individuals

Success
“Widespread adoption of Bt corn has resulted in an
areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations,
which has economically benefitted both growers of
Bt and non-Bt corn”

Cross Resistance
• First registration of CRW Bt corn
– Cry3Bb1 in 2003
• Confirmed resistance:
– Cry3Bb1 in 2010
– mCry3A in 2011 (cross resistance)

What went wrong?
• Low to moderate dose +
• Pyramid traits (eg. SmartStax) +
• Repeated use of the same hybrids and in some
cases lack of refuge compliance +
• Cross resistance means only one trait
(Cry34/35Ab1) still works in pyramid +
• Reduced refuge requirement with pyramids
5 or 10% (Refuge incorporated) +
= hastens resistance

Chemical Control
Pros
• Typically applied at threshold to keep
populations below injury levels
• Quick knockdown
• New products more specific
Cons
• Need to scout and have thresholds
• Potential for resistance, cross resistance, pest
resurgence and secondary pest outbreaks
• Non-target effects

Spidermites and Chemical Influences
• pyrethroids (eg. Matador) can cause a mite
population to flare up (kills off their predators
and not the mite)
• foliar fungicides can initiate a mite problem
(kills the entomopathogens)
• Some research indicating neonic seed trts
change plant hormones and actually allows
mites to thrive on these plants

Penn State 2014 – “Toxic Slugs”
• CruiserMaxx Soybeans with NNI seed treatments
create “toxic slugs”
• Slugs are unaffected by neonics but can have as
much as 500ppb in them
• Carry that toxin to their predator (ground beetles)
• Up to 60% of ground beetles intoxicated or killed

Penn State Research Cont’d
• More slugs present in treated soys versus untreated
• 19% decrease in plant stand and 5% yield decrease
in treated fields due to increased slug populations in
the absence of its predator

should not be using NNI treated seed” – Tooker, SWAC

Disadvantages to Biological Control
• Slow and may not provide control in an
outbreak year
• Labour intensive when in a threshold
• Can be very specific to one stage of pest
• Harder to maintain in a monoculture crop
• Very sensitive to chemical control and
weather conditions

Cover Crops
• red clover in wheat stubble is ideal for an
overwinter site for spider mites
• grassy cover crops (esp. rye) increase risk of
armyworm, wireworm
• can benefit the natural enemies
![Page 41: Integrated Pest Management - FarmSmart · • Integrated Pest Management • A systems approach to pest control method that ... areawide suppression of O. nubilalis populations, which](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020922/5ec4f4a933fd1061e0539cae/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Potential Risks
• Rye or grasses in corn & wireworm,
armyworm but benefit for slugs
• Clover in wheat & spider mites
• Plowing down cover crop in spring before
planting = seedcorn maggot issue
