A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
The FSU Grounds department is working with the Leon County Extension office to develop a formal IPM program. Current action thresholds have been developed for cycad scale on sago palms, whiteflies on gardenias, and tea scale on camellias when populations are noted during inspection of plants. Plants are monitored each season and pests are identified. Grounds utilizes coffee grounds to help prevent cycad scale and has used horticultural oils to smother scale insects. Whiteflies are controlled with insecticidal soap and horticultural oils. In the greenhouses, aphids and mites are controlled with horticultural oils and bio-rational products.
