Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Reduce pest risk through prevention, early detection, monitoring, and coordinated management.
Talk to AGSPest pressure can become expensive quickly when detection and response are delayed.
Greenhouse pest problems can spread when scouting, records, environmental conditions, sanitation, crop work, and control measures are not working together. Effective IPM is not a single treatment; it is a coordinated program that helps teams identify risks early and respond appropriately.
Pest pressure can affect marketable yield, crop quality, labour, and biological-control programs. Early detection and coordinated action are generally easier to manage than responding after a problem has become widespread.
Build a practical IPM system your team can use consistently.
AGS reviews pest risks, scouting and monitoring practices, records, crop conditions, and the biological, cultural, physical, and compatible chemical tools available. The goal is a clear, crop-specific program that staff can use consistently and adjust as pest pressure changes.
Typical Deliverables
Depending on the project scope, deliverables may include:
- Pest-risk and IPM program assessment
- Scouting and monitoring review
- Crop-specific IPM plan
- Biological-control recommendations
- Recordkeeping and decision-support templates
- Follow-up monitoring plan
Early detection starts with consistent monitoring and close inspection.
Sticky cards, routine crop walks, symptom recognition, and targeted inspection help teams identify changes early and respond with better information.
Support matched to the decision you need to make.
- Commercial greenhouse growers
- New greenhouse operations developing an IPM program
- Teams experiencing recurring pest pressure
- Research and demonstration greenhouses
