Chemical • Pests are controlled by using chemical pesticides. • Examples include: 1. insecticides to control insects 2. fungicides to control fungus diseases 3. miticides to control mites 4. herbicides to control weeds 5. rodenticides to control rodents 6. molluscicides to control mollusks PPT 6.02.01-Pest Control

  5. Cultural • Pests are prevented or reduced by using methods to alter the plant environment. • Examples include: 1. irrigation and fertilization schedules 2. sanitation practices PPT 6.02.01-Pest Control

  6. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) • Pest control strategies rely on multiple control practices. • Examples include: 1. regular monitoring to detect pests 2. using traps and remote sensing equipment 3. determining acceptable level of damage and when to initiate other control measures PPT 6.02.01-Pest Control
