Pest Management
The techniques of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Total Crop Management (TCM) offer a practical way for growers to maintain profitable crop production while effectively managing pests. Growers who practice IPM manage their crops by assessing pest problems and utilizing many different management options - cultural, physical, mechanical, chemical and biological. Regular crop inspection can alert growers to developing pest and cultural problems while they are still minor and can be easily manged. Early detection and intervention is the foundation of any IPM program. The following fact sheets provide information to better manage pests on floriculture crops.
Current pesticide and integrated pest management recommendations can be found in the New England Greenhouse Floriculture Guide: A Management Guide for Insects, Diseases, Weeds and Growth Regulators
