IPM Consulting for Growers

Weekly and Bi-weekly TPM/IPM (Total Plant Management/Integrated Pest Management) scouting packages are available to a variety of growers; indoor, greenhouse, nursery, holding yard, etc.

My TPM/IPM programs help clients reduce costs and exposure while improving efficacy by properly identifying pests, life-cycles, management strategies and timing. Successful use of this program can lead to a reduction in the use of harsh chemicals and run-off related issues. It will increase worker safety, beneficial organisms and environmental health.

TPM/IPM Packages include:

• Visual inspection of plant materials.
• Use of sticky cards, lures & traps, as appropriate.
• Proper identification of insects, both beneficials and pests.
• Proper identification of disease pests.
• Risk assessment of pest populations.
• Supporting documentation about target pests.
• Suggested control solutions (cultural, mechanical, biological, chemical, or a combination thereof).
• Evaluation of efficacy of control measures.
• Year-end summary of pests, projected monitoring & control strategies for future grower seasons.
