Integrated Pest Management. The New Jersey School Integrated Pest Management Act of 2002 requires schools to implement a school integrated pest management policy. The law requires the Superintendent of the School District, for each school in the District, to implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) procedures to control pests and minimize exposure of children, faculty and staff to pesticides. Upper Township School District shall therefore develop and maintain an IPM plan as part of the school’s policy.
Integrated Pest Management. The Building manages indoor pests in a way that protects human health and the surrounding environment. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) calls for using least-toxic chemical pesticides, minimum use of chemicals and using chemicals only in targeted locations and only for targeted species. Tenants have an important role in IPM. Generally, tenant are asked to keep their premises clean and to call Building management upon becoming aware of a pest issue.
Integrated Pest Management. For purposes of this Agreement, IPM means, as described by EPA on its IPM Principles website, as of the Effective Date, “an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. … IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options including, but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides.”
Integrated Pest Management. As defined at Section 482.021(15), Florida Statutes, as may be modified from time to time, the selection, integration, and implementation of multiple pest control techniques based on predictable economic, ecological, and sociological consequences, making maximum use of naturally occurring pest controls, such as weather, disease agents, and parasitoids, using various biological, physical, chemical, and habitat modification methods of control, and using artificial controls only as required to keep particular pests from surpassing intolerable population levels predetermined from an accurate assessment of the pest damage potential and the ecological, sociological, and economic cost of other control measures.
Integrated Pest Management. Shifts may start as early as 5 a.m.
Integrated Pest Management a. CONTRACTOR shall be provided with a copy of the City of Fairfield Integrated Pest Management (1PM) Policy and shall adhere to the practices contained within the Policy.
b. Extremely toxic materials, such as Category I pesticides shall not be used.
Integrated Pest Management. The Authority shall ensure that all pesticide applicators provide a pest management program that abides by federal and provincial legislation, and that incorporates integrated pest management principles and practices to reduce the use of broad-spectrum pesticides. The goal of is to manage pests effectively, safety and economically, (a) reducing the use of broad-spectrum pesticides, and using more specific control products; reducing the level of toxicity of products used, and avoiding products officially known or suspected of being human carcinogens; using alternate control methods; and improving and perfecting application methods. is an approach to pest management that integrates all pest management practices and control methods into one pest management program. does not usually try to eliminate all pests, but tries to reduce the pest population to an acceptable level. In the use of pesticides is advocated as a last resort only. involves identifying pests, determining the cause and source of the pest, knowing the pest's life cycle, behaviour effects on its host, and the most vulnerable period in its life cycle; and monitoring pest activities and the effectiveness of control or management methods. requires knowing and using available methods, such as (a) approved biological controls including parasitic and predatory insects and host-specific pathogens; maximizing a plant's health and minimizing its susceptibility to pest infestations by crop rotation, moisture control, planting techniques, and sanitation; genetic selection, i.e., choosing resistant species and varieties of plants; mechanical controls, e.g. trapping, cultivating, physical barriers; (e) the use of pesticides which are of relatively low toxicity to human and animal populations, and of low persistency in the environment; e.g., insecticidal soaps; the use of conventional pesticides in a prescribed manner. and Posting Requirements Five days prior to a scheduled indoor pesticide application (and hours prior to an outdoor application), all potentially exposed employees shall be informed of the intended pesticide application by way of posted signs and a notice. In emergency cases, the indoor five-day period can be shortened following consultation with potentially-exposed employees. Signs and notices shall include: The following wording: "Warning Pesticides Pesticides utilizes"; name of the product to be used; registration number; reason for application; of application; telephone number to contact fo...
Integrated Pest Management. (a) If the Work includes consultation for integrated pest management services, the Client understands that the final product may involve recommendations for plant health care treatments that will be tailored to meet the Client’s needs for specific trees, shrubs, turf areas, or plants. In creating these recommendations, Xxxxxxxx Tree Experts will consider the Client’s objectives, priorities, budgetary concerns, plant materials, site conditions, pest and disease infestation levels and the expectations of those levels, and timing issues.
(b) The Client acknowledges that such recommendations may involve one or more inspections of specific plants to help determine insect and disease concerns, the sampling of specific plant materials or soil areas, an understanding of the cultural needs of certain plants, consideration of biological control concepts and limitations (natural and/or introduced predators), recommended improvements to physical site conditions, or the use of pesticide treatments. The integrated pest management service does not combine all possible controls and concepts for every tree, shrub, turf area, or plant, but rather it considers the most reasonable option or options for control of and mitigation of insect and disease damages to the specific trees, shrubs, turf areas or plants as designated by the Client to meet the Client’s goals.
(c) The Client understands and acknowledges that during the course of an integrated pest management program, as inspections are taking place, and treatments or other services are being performed to certain trees or shrubs, not every tree or shrub inspected will require a specific treatment or other service, and in fact, some trees or shrubs may not require any specific treatment or other service throughout the course of a season to maintain health and vigor if the inspections show insignificant pest thresholds, and sound environmental and cultural conditions.
(d) The Client also understands that tree, shrub, plant and turf inspections conducted during the integrated pest management program are for the purpose of determining plant health issues and, insect and disease thresholds; and are not conducted for the purposes of determining tree, shrub, plant, or turf safety.
Integrated Pest Management. (i) Implement a pilot program by June 30, 2000, to work with childcare facilities and schools to introduce them to integrated pest management practices working with Indiana's experts in this field to include the Indiana State Chemist's Office. Status: 100% Complete. IPM hotline has fielded over 70 calls. Fifteen schools have requested help developing IPM policies. The first and second edition of the Pest Press is complete. The newsletter will provide information on a number of pests, and will be posted on the web and mailed to IPM pilots.
(ii) Hold (22) workshops, in coordination with EPA, throughout the State to present and market the pilot program by June 30, 2001.
(iii) Investigate financial feasibility and public interest for an IPM pilot program for homes by June 30, 2001. Status: 100% Complete. The project is feasible, but is cost prohibitive to expand it to full scale.
Integrated Pest Management. A holistic approach to managing insects, plant disease, weeds and other pests so that their populations do not exceed a tolerable level by fostering an environment favorable for plants and other beneficial organisms and unfavorable for pests. If pest problems arise a variety of control techniques are considered, with least toxic pesticides being applied as a last resort.
