Traditional Approaches(based on crops)
sample pest populations on a regular basis.
develop pest economic injury levels.
determine economic threshold levels (action thresholds) for each crop and pest.
IPM Principles and Concepts
![Page 3: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problems Applying Field Crop Concepts to Urban Areas
urban areas are aesthetic “crops”
general public fear or distaste of pests (“I don’t like bugs!”)
extremely diverse habitats are involved, not monocultures.
IPM Principles and Concepts
![Page 4: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
IPM Principles and Concepts
How do we handle diverse habitats?
Number of Plants – urban landscapes can contain over 100 species of plants!
Number of Pests – each plant may host 1 to 5 pests each!
![Page 5: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Urban Approaches(for landscapes, Raupp et al.)
Key Plants - plants prone to damaging pest problems.
Key Pests - pests that can cause serious damage or plant loss.
IPM Principles and Concepts
![Page 6: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“Traditional” Ornamental Plant Maintenance Program
Fertilize spring and fall – all plants treated the same.
Mulch in spring and put down preemerg-ence herbicide (crab grass and other annual weeds)!
Visit landscape 4-5 times per year and use “cover spray” (contains mixture of miticide, fungicide and insecticide)!
Sell other services – pruning, weeding, etc.
![Page 7: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Current Approach to Ornamental Plant Maintenance
MAP landscape, identifying key plants and key pests.
Evaluate individual plants and consult with owner about desires for plants – maintenance, push growth, etc.
Use targeted pesticide applications.
Recommend “crop” rotation!?

Plant Health CareCurrent Thinking
In Plant Health Care (PHC), the concept of
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is only
ONE component of the system - the one
dealing with "intervention" after a plant
stress has been identified as being
caused by a pest.

Environmentally Based??
Sustainable environment?
Plant Health?
Urban habitat health?
Reduced toxic risk?

Sustainable Environments
Need little or no inputs
Resistant to change
Tolerate stresses

Our “concept” of urban landscapes try to mimic outside habitats. Notice the similarities? Trees on the outside perimeter, short-cut plants in the foreground and a “water feature.”
![Page 15: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Most urban landscapes put stresses on the ornamental plants, thereby making them more prone to insect damage. These oaks were planted three-in-a-spot (four foot squares in the parking lot). They were being killed by borers and the manager was “mystified”!!

Environmentally Based Lawns and Landscapes
Ideal World Reality
Select plant for site
Amend soil before plant
Use new plants
Pest controls do not affect non-targets
"Healthy" plants defend themselves
Plants already installed
Amend after plant
Deal with old plants
Pesticides affect non-targets
"Healthy" plants are better able to defend
![Page 18: Pest Management Concepts for Urban Ornamentals & Turf David J. Shetlar, Ph.D. The BugDoc Landscape Entomologist The Ohio State University](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e035503460f94aedf33/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What about biological control?
In it’s most simple definition, biological control is using naturally occurring organisms to control pests, whether the pests be vertebrates (fish, birds, reptiles, or mammals), diseases (usually plant pathogens – fungi), weeds, or arthropods (insects and mites).
Biological controls are usually predators, parasites, or diseases (pathogens), but some biological control experts also include competitors.

Biocontrol or "BioBased"?
Paenibacillus popillae – grub milky disease
Bacillus thuringiensis – δ-endotoxin
Saccharopolyspora spinosa – spinosyns (=Conserve™)

Use campuses as model ecological landscapes (demonstrate proper plant materials and conversion techniques)
Establish model communities with commercial developer (currently working with Dominion Homes)
Establish a university major
