The Evolution Of IPM To ICM In Vegetable Crops
IPM (Integrated pest management) programs for many vegetable crops have been developedand delivered to growers in different forms over that past few decades.

Extractions: Putting together an integrated crop management program for vegetables requires a team of expertise from all levels of the industry and a wide range of disciplines. It also requires clear and concise communication and an ability to adapt to changes on a regular basis. The key components to consider in an ICM program include: soil fertility, crop nutrition, seed health, greenhouse transplant health, varieties, cultivation practices, marketing options, market price, weather, irrigation, rainfall, insects, diseases, weeds, physiological disorders, nematodes, beneficials, pest control products, spraying technology, neighbouring crops, topography, rotations, carry-over effects, tolerance thresholds and post-harvest handling procedures and storage. As an example, aphids are a common pest of many vegetable crops. Consider that all of the following issues might affect the level and severity of aphids in a crop: nutrition, especially nitrogen levels, variety of crop, daily and weekly temperatures, rainfall and irrigation patterns and amounts, beneficial predators and parasites, sprayer efficacy, insecticide resistance, effect of pyrethroids on beneficials, market tolerances, neighbouring crops, weed management and potential as virus vectors.

Extractions: Integrated pest management for greenhouse crops is complex, and each problem situation or production objective is accompanied by a wide range of potentially acceptable solutions. There are also a great many legal implications regarding the recommendations and use of any management tactic or pesticide product in accordance to instructions specified on the product's label. The user of any pesticide is always responsible for his or her own actions. The following are some general considerations for the development of an integrated pest management program for commercial production or maintenance systems: Determine Your Objective Pest management programs should be designed to meet a specific production objective. In greenhouse production, this objective is usually to produce pest and damage-free plants. However, in some situations, the objective may be to maintain healthy plants. This would allow for some tolerance of minor insect or mite pest damage. Additionally, a preference for the use of no or low-toxic pesticides may be desirable. This is particullarly important in regard to the potential contamination of surface and groundwater. Financial constraints also play a role in determining the overall objectives of an IPM program. All of these factors significantly effect the suppression tactics to be implemented. Sanitation Practices The first steps to take in a program to manage plant pests are preventative, and starting with a clean production area is essential. Greenhouses can be fumigated or otherwise treated prior to establishing a new crop to help eliminate pest problems from previous crops. However, where plants at different stages of growth or species are grown in the same area, treatment of pests is recommended prior to establishing the next crop. Elimination of weeds and other alternate hosts of plant pests will also help prevent problems on the new crop.

This site is the prototype of the Global Crop Pest Identification and Information Services in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) on the World Wide Web. Using this prototype as a model, we are now interested in working with agriculturalists in third world countries to help modify, if necessary, the format of this WWW site and add approximately 500 additional diagnostic and information 'units' for the major vegetable, fruit and field crops pests in the tropical and subtropical countries. Each of the units can focus on a particular insect, disease or weed pest important to that crop. The project will be developed by scientists at Cornell University , Zamorano (the PanAmerican School of Agriculture in Honduras) and other collaborative institutions from the developing countries.

The report's lead authors, J. Fernandez-Cornejo and W. McBride, found that cotton (_Gossypium hirsutum_) enhanced with Bt (_Bacillus thuringiensis_) to protect against pest insects, and grown in the southeastern region of the country, was the most beneficial application of crops genetically modified for enhanced pest management. Use of Bt-cotton increased crop yields, increased net returns, and "significantly reduced insecticide use," according to the document (AER 786). jorge@ers.usda.gov

Extractions: Home INTRODUCTION Integrated pest management (IPM) is a set of practices designed to avoid economic losses from pests while at the same time minimizing use of pesticides or other practices with possible detrimental effects. over the past 20 years, there has been a steady increase in the use of IPM due to increased public emphasis on environmental safety, development of pest resistance to all the major classes of insecticides and a reduction in the number of new insecticides, but only in the past five years has there been a dramatic move to IPM in agriculture. Individually, IPM practices are not very different from practices used in conventional pest control. Collectively, however, they represent a very different management philosophy. A successful IPM program considers the effect of every aspect of farm management on pest and beneficial populations. Plowing, crop scheduling, irrigation and mulch application may be adjusted to reduce future pest problems. For example, an IPM practitioner might consider the following: Nitrogen fertilizer has stimulated aphid outbreaks in cole crops; insecticides may kill natural enemies of weeds; fungicides may kill soil microorganisms that control nematodes; and both insecticides and fungicides may reduce earthworm populations, thus lowering soil fertility and water infiltration rates.

http://www.joe.org/joe/1998august/a3.html

Extractions: Edinburg, Texas Introduction Cucurbits are an important part of the fresh market vegetable crops in the USA comprising approximately 9% of all fresh vegetable shipments in 1992 (USDA Agricultural Statistics 1993). Cucurbit fruit such as pickling cucumber, pumpkin, and squash, are also important processed or frozen commodities. Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, cucumber, squash, and pumpkin are grown throughout the south central region of the U.S. from south Texas through Oklahoma. It is estimated that over 100,000 acres for the crop complex as a whole are produced in Texas and Oklahoma. The fruit is primarily channeled through the fresh market and through processors for pickles and frozen goods. The pest complex attacking these crops in these areas can result in severe yield losses. Consumer demands for unblemished produce in the fresh market coupled with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for the processor market dictate that cucurbit fruit be blemish free and of standard size and color. Because of this, pesticide usage has remained high for these crops and adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) practices slow because of the perceived risks to production.
