What is IPM?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a process to properly identify plant pests and diseases, and recommend the best management strategies with a focus on solutions that are gentle on beneficial insects, non-target organisms, and the environment.
​
My goal is to educate customers of the more environmentally-conscious solutions to pests or diseases that may be present for Nursery, Greenhouse, and CEA Growers, Medical Cannabis & Hemp Growers, or Landscape Managers, HOA's and Commercial Properties.
​
My Services include:
​
Scouting – I will thoroughly examine your crops on a regular basis, properly identify plant pests, and make appropriate management suggestions that will help reduce plant loses and improve quality.
​
Training & Consulting – I will train you/your staff to properly identify plant pests and collect accurate data from sticky cards, traps, and tap testing. The client-collected data and observations will be evaluated during weekly or bi-weekly meetings or conference calls.
​
One-Time Consulting – I will provide a one-time, onsite visit to thoroughly investigate a specific plant problem, properly diagnose pests, and provide an effective management strategy. (Remote support is also available.)
​
Optional addition of insectary plantings and bluebird nesting boxes to attract and support naturally occurring beneficial insects and native birds to aid in plant pest control.
