Practice: 114 - Integrated Pest Management Plan

Scenario: #1 - IPM Management CAP Small-Specialty Less Than 50 Acres
Scenario Description:
Various on-farm land uses where pests are managed on smaller operations, including organic and specialty crop operations where more
complicated pest management evaulations and solutions may be necessary. Current pest control activities cause environmental concerns
with water quality and/or erosion. Natural Resource Concern: Water quality and all other appropriate resource concerns.
Before Situation:
Agricultural currently producer has no plan or limited knowledge of development or management of agricultural pests. The producer
currently manages pests based upon pesticide label instructions, personal knowledge, or other local criteria. Producer is interested in
managment of pests and reduce the environmental impacts for environmental benefit. Producer is willing to collaborate with a certified
TSP to develop a plan and collect/coordinate data recording to monitor per requirements of plan. Associated Practices: Integrated Pest
Management, Crop Rotation, Cover Crop, Field Boarder, Filter Strip, Stripcropping, and Residue and Tillage management practices, or other
application conservation practices cited tin the NRCS Field Office Technical Guide.
After Situation:
After EQIP contract approval, participant has obtained services from a certified TSP for development of the "Integrated Pest Management"
conservation activity plan. The CAP criteria requires the plan to meet quality criteria for applicable resource concerns and provides for
opportunities to utilize the following strategies: Prevention, Avoidance, Monitoring, and Suppression, which will be implemented through
use of "Integrated Pest Management and may use one or more conservation practices and/or risk reduction strategies. The CAP plan may
include recommendations for associated conservation practices which address other related resource concerns. CAP meets the basic
quality criteria for the 114 plan as cited in the NRCS Field Office Technical Guide.
