A brief description of the IPM program:
UNC Pembroke's IPM focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, mechanical control, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and nontarget organisms, and the environment. Chemical treatments are made only when and where monitoring has suggested the pest will cause economic, biological, or visual damage.
