Integrated Pest Management in Greenhouses

In this program learn how to successfully use integrated pest management (IPM) in production greenhouses. This video shows the unique problems and opportunities involved with managing pests in production greenhouses. The program begins by outlining the greenhouse pest management problem and thegreenhouse IPM objective. The use of a pest's economic threshold isthen effectively illustrated. See how to apply a detailed pest monitoring program to effectively coordinate physical, biological,cultural, horticultural and chemical controls in greenhouse crops. The video proceeds to show a step-by-step IPM program for a particular floricultural crop, followed by an interview with Dr. Michael Parrella,a leading researcher in the development of new greenhouse IPM methods. The techniques shown in this video will reduce costs,increase safety and improve pest control in production greenhouses.
