Overview
What you will learn
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the process of detecting, diagnosing and managing pest problems. It includes preventative strategies, risk assessment, curative or reactive methods, and evaluation of success.
A variety of methods for detecting pests in the crop will be examined in the Aquaponic Integrated Pest Management course offered by Lethbridge Polytechnic to support pest identification and risk assessment. Management methods, including preventative, reactive, and biological, will be examined and assessed for their efficacy and appropriateness for use in an aquaponic system. The learner will be able to assess the effectiveness of an IPM plan based on a cost/benefit analysis.
