In this module, we will explore the key principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and how they can be applied effectively in Ontario’s agri-food sector. IPM is a holistic approach to managing pest populations, aiming to minimize damage to crops while minimizing negative impacts on the environment, human health, and non-target organisms. The module will focus on foundational concepts such as the disease triangle, the IPM pyramid, and the importance of monitoring pest populations and setting action thresholds. By the end of this module, learners will understand the core principles of IPM and be able to apply them to specific agricultural scenarios in Ontario.
