| Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Plant Health Care (PHC)
are strategies for managing ornamental plants in landscapes and
nurseries in ways that reduce the potential for pest and disease
problems. When problems do occur, the practitioner implementing
an IPM/PHC approach follows a sequence of steps in the management
of the pest or disease that is designed to minimize impacts on the
environment. Below are some of the tools that a practitioner would
use in implementing an IPM/PHC program.
