A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
The University of Utah has not adopted a formal policy for IPM, but the Supervisor of Landscape Maintenance, Sue Pope has been trained in IPM. Her department follows the following best practices:
· Thresholds: Chemicals are only used in the landscape as a last resort if the economic value of the landscape is jeopardized or if there is a perceived threat to human health and safety.
· Pest populations are monitored through visual inspections.
· Prevention: The pest population is kept under control by removing excess debris and pruning to improve plant health. In addition, a housekeeping protocol under Plant Operations Janitorial department minimizes the need for pest control in the interior spaces.
· Control: When chemicals are required, their use is documented with standardized record-keeping and applied only according to the label and manufacturer’s instructions.
