program is reduced inputs such as
sprays and fertilizers. This reduc
tion in inputs can result in substan
tial savings to you, the fanner, as
well as the reducing the environ
mental impact of your operation.
IPM practices are not the same
as organic production methods
although there ate many similari
ties. Chemical sprays are still com
ponents of some IPM control prog
rams. However, using IPM means
first waiting until the target pest
population builds up to a damaging
level before applying the spray.
Selecting a spray that will con
trol the target pest while preserv
ing some of its natural predators is
also an IPM technique. Something
as easy a selecting a disease- or
insect-resistant variety is also a
form of IPM since production of
that crop will require reduced
chemical inputs in the form of
sprays.
Crop rotations are another form
of IPM since they can be used to
break the cycle of many diseases
and insects on crop plants.
I suspect that many of you are
already practicing some form of
IPM without actually being aware

Hostetter Management Company is a swine production
management group with finishing contracts available
within 100 miles of Harrisburg through Wenger Feeds.
We are looking for farmers interested in exploring the
option of constructing and operating 2100 head
finishing facilities to grow feeder pigs for market. The
feeder pigs are readily available through our existing
1400 head sow units.
Why consider a swine operation??
- Steady cash flow
- 5 year renewable contracts
- Opportunity for long term growth
- Nutrient management for manure control

of it. You probably started that
practice to save money on sprays
which is a benefit of IPM.
There are several things that you
need to keep in mind when setting
up or evaluating an IPM program.
First an effective IPM program
suppresses excessive pests rather
than eradicating the entire pest
population. This enables you to
use a variety of methods to limit
weed, insect, and disease pests to
negligible levels.
An effective IPM program also
taka* a site’s ecological and envir
onmental components into
account This includes the location
of wells and natural water features
like streams and ponds.
And finally, an effective IPM
program takes time to develop and
extra care to plan, implement and
monitor. One of the difficulties I
see with IPM is that there usually
isn’t always a set solution to a
problem. What works on one farm
may not work bn another nearby
operation. However, there are
many success stories with IPM
methods and I hope you will inves
tigate the possibility of using IPM
on your farm in the next growing
season.
