A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
The entire ODU campus grounds are managed with IPM. Specifically, ODU uses a multi-tiered approach towards grounds maintenance involving Cultural, Chemical, Mechanical, and Biological controls. There is not a singular document or IPM plan for the campus at this time. ODU staff is guided by the principles of an IPM approach and utilize cultural, biological, and mechanical methods to keep plants healthy. When it is necessary to use a chemical product, the staff chooses the most environmentally friendly product know to be available. ODU does not practice ‘blanket sprays’ which are indiscriminate pesticide treatments. ODU follows a Nutrient Management Plan written by a certified technician through the Virginia Department of Conservation Resources and all the pesticide applicators are Virginia Department of Agriculture Certified.
