IPM: From Integrated Pest Management to Intelligent Pest Management
Summary
Changing social
attitudes coupled with modern arboricultural practices have meant that the
practical application of IPM principles has become better defined: Integrated Pest Management has become
Intelligent Pest Management. From
determining which pests matter to deciding when to pull the pesticide trigger,
this presentation uses real-life case studies to educate participants on how to
apply intelligent pest management concepts to meet client needs and
expectations.
