Shortly after World War II, when synthetic Shortly after World War II, when synthetic insecticidesinsecticides became became
widely available, widely available, entomologistsentomologists in California developed the concept in California developed the concept
of "supervised insect control.of "supervised insect control.
In the United States, IPM was formulated into national policy in In the United States, IPM was formulated into national policy in
February 1972 when President February 1972 when President Richard NixonRichard Nixon directed federal directed federal

5. What is IPM?What is IPM?
 Ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of Ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of
pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as
biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural
practices, and use of resistant varieties. practices, and use of resistant varieties.

3 principle approaches incudes- 3 principle approaches incudes-

- Direct action against pathogen. - Direct action against pathogen.
- Genetic modification of the host.- Genetic modification of the host.
- Modification of environment to make it- Modification of environment to make it
it unfavourable for the host. it unfavourable for the host.

6. How does IPM work?How does IPM work?
It reduces the amount of chemical pesticides by using three possible It reduces the amount of chemical pesticides by using three possible
approaches:-approaches:-
1.1.Mechanical control Mechanical control – –
It can be achieved through Eradication .It can be achieved through Eradication .

Other methods that are used for eradication purpose includes-Other methods that are used for eradication purpose includes-
Crop rotation.Crop rotation.
Field sanitation. Field sanitation.
Chemical and heat treatment.Chemical and heat treatment.
Eradication of alternate hosts.Eradication of alternate hosts.
Protection.Protection.

7. Japanese Beetle
Traps used for catching
Small scale eradication are carried out in local tracks to control
various diseases like-
-Loose smut of wheat.
-Covered smut of barley.
-Red rot of sugarcane .
-Wilt of arhar and many others.
Mechanically the insects and pests can be cotrolled by using the
traps,for eg.-Catching of Japanese bettle by using traps.

8. 2 . Biological control-
As this method does not pose any environmental
threat ,besides being inexpensive it has therefore, gained significant
prominence.
-Viruses, bacteria , fungi and sometimes insects are also used for
this purpose as- Mycoviruses, Mycoparasites and Myconematicide.

- Besides this sowing Resistant varieties also plays a crucial role in
the biological control.
The 2 types of genetic resistant to pathogen in
plants are- MONOGENIC and POLYGENIC.
A natural enemy of the pest
Example – Lady bugs feeding on
the Aphids.

9. Microbes as biological Microbes as biological
control-control-
a.a.MYCOVIRUSES- MYCOVIRUSES- Few viruses present in fungi successfully Few viruses present in fungi successfully
attack fungi. For eg.- attack fungi. For eg.- Penicillium stoloniferum Penicillium stoloniferum filterate destroys filterate destroys
Agaricus bisporusAgaricus bisporus..
b.b.MYCOPARASITES- MYCOPARASITES- Few soil fungi and bacteria effectively Few soil fungi and bacteria effectively
reduces the infection of pathogenic fungi on the host plant. For reduces the infection of pathogenic fungi on the host plant. For
eg.- eg.- Trichoderma harzianum Trichoderma harzianum reduces the infection of reduces the infection of SclerotiumSclerotium..
c.c.MYCONEMATICIDE- MYCONEMATICIDE- Few fungi feed on nematodes .Genera of Few fungi feed on nematodes .Genera of
fungi such as- fungi such as- ArthrobotrysArthrobotrys,,DactylariaDactylaria etc. are predacious on etc. are predacious on
nematodes and kill them.nematodes and kill them.

10. 3. Chemical control-
- The chemicals used in the plant protection can be classified
as-
a.Eradicants.
b.Surface protectants.
c.Systemic protectants.
-Bordeaux mixture was discovered accidentally in France by
the Millardet in 1882.
-Burganday mixture is generally formed by replacing lime
with the sodium carbonate and it was discovered in 1987.
-Sulphur is the earliest known fungicide and it is useful
against Powdery Mildew.
-Copper is one of the best known fungicide ,and it is present
in the Bordeaux Mixture.

11. Some Systemic fungicide includes-
 AVAX- It controls Basidiomycotina besides Verticillium,Monilia etc.
PLANTVAX- It controls Basidiomycotina besides Dueteromycotina,
Curvularia, Botrytis and also toxic for the diseases like – Smut of
Wheat.
VITAVAX- It is highly toxic to Basidiomycotina.
BENLATE- It is a broad spectrum fungicide and effective against –
Rice blast,Powdery mildew, Apple scab etc.
BAVISTIN- It controls both Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina
effectively.
BENOMYL- It affects DNA synthesis of microbes and protein
synthesis.

15. Advantages of IPMAdvantages of IPM
 To the agricultural producers- By reduction in the producer economic
risk, by the promotion of low cost of carefully targeted pest
management practices.
To the environment- By the promotion of sustainable bio based pest
management alternatives.
To pest management professionals and organizations- As a result of
demand for new ,innovative and marketable products and services.
To the general public- Assurance of safe, reliable, low cost pest control
through improved pest management.

16. Disadvantages of IPMDisadvantages of IPM

An IPM system of pest control involves a lot more time and is An IPM system of pest control involves a lot more time and is
sometimes more costly than the traditional method of spraying sometimes more costly than the traditional method of spraying
