| Abstract/Contents: | "A biorational approach to pest suppression in urban landscapes includes alternative plantings, naturally occurring parasites and predators, and other alternatives to chemical pesticides. Managing pests in landscapes is part of a dynamic management system. Intelligent plant management (IPM), as defined for landscapes, recognizes that site and plant selection, construction of landscapes, and routine management practices such as proper planting, fertilization, and irrigation influence pest complexes. Prioritizing areas within a landscape, mapping pest populations, alternative plantings (including pest-resistant cultivars), and naturally occurring parasites and predators are some factors that make biorational pest suppression possible. Hindrances include the high visibility of landscapes, the fact that they may be heavily trafficked areas, that landscapes are labor intensive, and often profit oriented. Commercially, efficacy is measured in dollar savings; for homeowners, efficacy often is even more closely tied to landscape appearance. In addition to public perception, development of public acceptance of intelligent plant management strategies is essential." |
