IPM?
How many of you know what
"1PM" stands for? It reads In
tegrated Pest Management, and it
deals with a whole lot more than
just bugs. In order to adequately
manage our agricultural systems,
all natural resources need to be
taken into account.
Pest management is a term that
has been around since the 1950's,
where it was used to describe the
use of biological and chemical
controls to fight insects in agri
culture. However, the term "in
tegrated" was added later to show
the need to include all relevant
biological, chemical, and cultural
practices in a successful pest
management program.
There are already several suc
cessful IPM programs in North
Carolina covering a variety of crops
from tobacco to blueberries. The
North Carolina Agricultural Ex
tension Service has a vital role in
the development, understanding,
and implementation of these IPM
programs. Federal and state ac
tivities and funding for IPM re
search and demonstrations are also
available at this time.
Your Hoke County Agricultural
Extension Service has submitted a
proposal to get some funding for an
1PM program on tobacco and
soybeans. We recently heard that
our proposal was one of the few
approved so, therefore, we've got
the ball rolling.
In an Integrated Pest Manage
ment program there is selection.
