INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This concept is rather simple. You decide what pest level you can put up with and then you manage your resources to help keep those pests at or below that level of tolerance.

Among some protective approaches to the above goal are the use of beneficial insects.

Also, if you shower aphids with streams of water, most of them will be washed so far away from the plant they won't be able to find their way back. They can't fly that well.

Dip a Q-tip in alcohol and dab it on mealybugs which are dining on your household plants. Let slugs and snails have a drink a beer. They'll fall in and drown.

Bacillus thuringeniensis is a natural bacteria which can be used on lots of different caterpillars. Included among these would be cabbage loopers, corn earworm, tomato hornworms, diamondback moths and imported cabbageworms.

If you're going to use oils or soaps to eradicate insect pests, be sure you get insecticidal soap or oils classified as horticultural. Ordinary soaps and touted remedies have perfumes and dyes. These can burn your plants. So be smart: use what's right.

A new and what may be a very important insect and disease fighter is "Messenger" which at this date may have been approved by the EPA. (If interested, check with your supplier or a nursery outlet. I personally only know about it - not where to get it.)

This product contains an ingredient called "harpin". This is a protein produced in nature by bacteria. Harpin binds itself to the receptor's in a plant and actually "encourages" the plant to defend itself more vigorously.

Messenger (or harpin) may thus be classified as a biochemical pesticide, a first. The product seems to be successful for a very broad range of plants. It's toxicity to humans, bees, birds, fish is almost non-existent.

Which, if true, would make this an ideal weapon to include in one's Integrated Pest Management program.
