CourseGraphic Course Description
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. In this course, the learner will explore the principles underlying IPM to develop a decision support system to facilitate pest management in an aquaponics system. A variety of methods for detecting pests in the crop will be examined 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.


Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: 

  1. Describe a decision support system
  2. Define the diagnostic process
  3. Describe pest identification
  4. Describe selected monitoring methods and systems
  5. Define action thresholds
