Unless otherwise noted,the term pesticide includes those chemicals commonly known as pesticides, rodenticides,fungicides,ncmaticides,and hcrbicides. Vegetation management includes minimizing the growKh of undesirable vegetation or encouraging the groµth of desirable vegetation. Vcgetation management may include use of herbicides to gM rid of undesirahle vegetation, pesticides to reduce pest infestations, or fertilizers to promote vegetative growth. These practices need to be implemented in an intelligent, environmentally sound fashion. Businesses who wish to use temporary or permanent seeding,or w:�o intend to plant vegctation should refer to the following BMPs found in Chapter 2, Erosion and Sediment Control: BMP E I.10 Temporary Seeding BMP E1.15 Mulching and Matting BMP E1.20 Clear Plastic Covcring BMP E 1.35 Permanent Seeding and Planting BMP E1.40 Sodding These B1�7Ps provicie infortnation on �rass mixmms,tcmporary and pertnanent seeding,maintenance of a recently planted arca,and fertilizer application rates. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT lntegrated Pest�tanagement(IPM) is a long-temi,ecologically based systems approach to controlling pest populations. lt utilizes a needs assessment based on dccision-making criteria and maximizes reliance on natural pest controls. IPM has nvo fundamental aims. 'fhe first is to steer pesticide use away from prophylactic,broad spectrum use towards optimized selective use,using the��arious]PM components to guidr decision-making and achieve an economically justitiable income. The second is to recognize that the non-ecunomic consequences of pest convol (and not just pesticide use)may be hzrmful to the environment,and so pesticidc inpu[s should be rcduced and natural conuols mauimiud m order to minimize the environmental side effects. integrated control is a pest management system that utilizes all suitable techniques either to reduce pest populations and maintam them at levels below those causing economic injuq�, or to manipulate the populations so that they are prevented from causing such injury. The major components of IPM arc: - Initial information eatherine: The pest andlor problem is identified. Informntion should be collected on the biology of the pest and its management,and previous methods used to manage the pest in the area. Records should be kept in some manner of omgmng activities. - Monitorine: The plants or the site nre observcd for potcntial pest problcros at regular intervals. Each monitoring system needs to be tailored to the particular situation, and ihe level of effort should be appropriate to the amount of dama�c caused by the pest,the time available, and the skill level of the person makine the inspcctions. _ 4-''-1 A
