Description of IUPUI Grounds Operations IPM plan. While the Office of Sustainability IPM Plan has not been officially approved, Campus facility Services Grounds Operations has adopted planning and practices for IPM since 1992. Upon implementation of the IPM Plan, we adopted these practices: o No restricted-use pesticides shall be used for the treatment of pests, diseases, or weeds on campus grounds. o No blanket-applications of pesticides shall be done to control pests, diseases, or weeds on campus grounds. o Campus grounds shall be inspected for pest, disease, or noxious weed identification and threshold levels to determine economic and esthetic damage before determining treatment plan and schedule. o A calendar shall be established to plot the expected life-cycles and appearance of pests, diseases, and weed populations on the campus landscape; to anticipate and plan prevention and treatment as-needed. o When possible, only target applications are made to the infected plant materials. o Future plant selections may be determined to select native and/or pest-resistant varieties.
