What is a Pest?
Any organism that is detrimental to humans
Destroys crops and structures
Poses threats to human health and livestock
Reduces aesthetic and recreational value
Pests include insects, mites, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, fish, birds, and mammals
![Page 4: Pest Management in Your Landscape - Grantham Garden Club€¦ · Pest Management in Your Landscape Grantham Garden Club 2019 Rachel Maccini PSEP Coordinator, Urban IPM Coordinator](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc186b3a1e1510caf611cca/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
History Lesson: Pest Control
Primitive: pulling weeds, clubbing rats, plucking insects from foliage
Sulfur burning for mites/insects: 2500 B.C.
Lead arsenate in orchards – 1892
Lime and copper sulfate – Bordeaux mixture
Early pesticides – plant extracts or inorganics
WWII: DDT and low cost synthetic chemistry

Concerns with Pesticide Dependence
Pest resistance
Environmental persistence
Bioaccumulation: when a chemical accumulates in animal fat (historical fact)
Biomagnification: when an organism accumulates residues at higher concentrations than the organisms they consume
![Page 6: Pest Management in Your Landscape - Grantham Garden Club€¦ · Pest Management in Your Landscape Grantham Garden Club 2019 Rachel Maccini PSEP Coordinator, Urban IPM Coordinator](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc186b3a1e1510caf611cca/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pest Management
Is the pest really causing the problem?
1st step: Always identify the pest before taking any action!
Become familiar with its life cycle and habits
Misidentification results in lack of knowledge = ineffective control of the real pest

Pest Identification is Critical
• Understand that all stages of a pest do not look the same
• Know the host of the pest
• Use books, extension bulletins, field guides, Web, etc.
• Have pests examined by specialists
– Handle samples carefully

Vegetable Garden
• Colorado potato beetle
• Cutworm
• Squash bugs
• Striped cucumber beetle
• Tomato / tobacco hornworm
![Page 14: Pest Management in Your Landscape - Grantham Garden Club€¦ · Pest Management in Your Landscape Grantham Garden Club 2019 Rachel Maccini PSEP Coordinator, Urban IPM Coordinator](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc186b3a1e1510caf611cca/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Colorado potato beetle
• eggs are laid undersides of the leaves
• Both larvae and adults feed on leaves and fruit. After four instars, larvae pupate in the soil.
Damage
• Defoliation
• Feed on leaves, fruit and terminals
Management
• Cultural control – crush eggs, larvae and adults
• Use floating row covers
• Straw and thick mulch inhibits movement and encourages predator insects
• Natural predators – Stink bugs and lady beetles will prey upon Colorado potato beetle eggs and larvae and the fungus Beauveriabassiana will kill both larvae and adults.
![Page 15: Pest Management in Your Landscape - Grantham Garden Club€¦ · Pest Management in Your Landscape Grantham Garden Club 2019 Rachel Maccini PSEP Coordinator, Urban IPM Coordinator](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc186b3a1e1510caf611cca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cutworms
• eggs are laid under debris in the soil
• Larvae are the cutworm, curl up into a tight “C” when disturbed
Damage
• Cut into young stems
• Feed on leaves- leaving a ragged leaf appearance
Management
• Cultural control – field plowing and clean cultivation
• Natural predators –parasitic wasps and tachinid flies

• Larvae feed on roots and stems of plants
• Adults gouge and rasp fruits, transfer disease
Damage

• Holes in leavers, flowers and fruit
Management
• Remove garden debris in fall
• Lightly till soil to kill eggs and larvae
• Floating row covers over susceptible plants until flowering

Aphids• Cluster on plants and are wingless
(most)
• Honeydew- shiny sticky substance
Damage
• Causes poor growth, stunted plants, curled and distorted leaves
Management
• Cultural controls – Spraying plants with forceful streams of water often washes off and kills aphids
• Keep weeds at a minimum
• Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers
• Natural enemies - various species of parasitic wasps that lay their eggs inside aphids. The skin of the parasitized aphid turns crusty and golden brown. Many predators also feed on aphids- lady beetle adults and larvae, lacewing larvae, soldier beetles, and syrphid fly
![Page 21: Pest Management in Your Landscape - Grantham Garden Club€¦ · Pest Management in Your Landscape Grantham Garden Club 2019 Rachel Maccini PSEP Coordinator, Urban IPM Coordinator](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081522/5fc186b3a1e1510caf611cca/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Damage
• Grass starts to yellow, turn reddish brown, and eventually die.
Management
• Cultural controls endophyte-enhanced turfgrass seed
• Chemical controls– Conventional insecticides can suppress nymphs and adults Biological control – big-eyed bug is the primary predator of hairy chinch bug nymphs and adults
