Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) being implemented at the USDA's National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. States that "since the low-chemical program was institited in 1992, the arboretum has reduced the volume of pesticides used by about 75 per cent [percent]." Profiles IPM, including its history. Also discusses the key IPM concept of a threshold "at which it would be economically worthwile to spray." Also states that "one of the drawbacks of IPM is the requirement for continual monitoring and scouting in order to identify and prevent outbreaks before they become a problem." |
