BO4138 Biointensive IPM and Plant Health
This class explores the principles and applications of biointensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which integrates ecologic and economic factors into agricultural system design and management. The primary goal of biointensive IPM is to provide guidelines and options for effectively managing pests and beneficial organisms in an ecological context and address public concerns about environmental quality and food safety. Signs and symptoms of plant deficiencies and diseases are examined and treated with appropriate organic inputs in order to restore balance to the soil, shifting the disease state.
