INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
Key Pests, Plants, Pathogens, and Locations
Pests - A pest species that causes the most damage and require frequent control measures.
Plants - Plant species that are highly susceptible to pests, diseases, or environmental stress. They can also be plants of higher value to the client.
Pathogens - Fungal, bacterial, and/or viral infections that are most common and considered annually problematic, i.e. powdery mildew.
Locations - Places in a managed landscape where problems most times arise first and are chronically most severe. These are also considered high-visibility areas, or high-value collections.
