### Integrated Forest Protection: Strategies, Ecology, and Management for Sustainable Practices ###

Integrated Forest Protection (IFP) incorporates interdisciplinary approaches to manage forest health and pest interactions effectively. This system emphasizes clear goals, ecological foundations, and coordinated tactics to prevent pest issues. Key components include understanding the Plant Disease Triangle (pathogen, environment, host), economic thresholds for pest damage, and evaluating risk through monitoring systems. Strategies such as early detection, exclusion, and fumigation are vital in protecting nurseries and forests from pests. By utilizing a variety of tools and methodologies, IFP fosters environmental integrity and promotes sustainable forestry practices. ###

  1. INTEGRATED FOREST PROTECTION LEARNING OBJECTIVES Principles of IFP Application of IFP to Nurseries Strategies and Tools for IFP in Forests

  2. Integrated Forest Protection • Interdisciplinary (Systems approach) • Clear goals • Ecological basis • Pest interactions • Plant Disease Triangle • Economic (or action) thresholds • Use a variety of tactics and treatments in a coordinated approach • Prevention of pest problems

  3. Systems Approach Forest Management (What are your Goals?) Pest Management

  6. Economic (or Action) Thesholds Benefit = Cost Economic Injury Level or Resource Impact Level Pest Population Density Economic Threshold or Action Threshold Time

  7. Information Needed to Implement Integrated Forest Protection • Basic biology and ecology • Impact data • Detection/monitoring systems • Hazard/risk rating systems • Treatment alternatives

  8. Hazard and Risk Rating Models • Hazard = susceptibility • suitability of the environment for a specific pest • amount of damage that will occur if pest is present • Risk = Hazard + measure of pest abundance and proximity • probability that an infestation will occur • Hazard ≠ Risk
