Creating Healthy
Landscapes
Manage the health and beau
ty of trees, shrubs, and flowers
with soil testing and minimal
pesticide use. One method called
integrated pest management
(IPM); involves looking at the
total landscape; identifying the
insect the mite, disease, or grow
ing condition that appears to be
causing a problem; and if any
action need to be taken, choos
ing from a variety of sound man
agement strategies. This

Select plants that are suited
to the conditions in your land
scape. For instance, if the soil is
acidic, choose plants that prefer
acid conditions. If most of the
area is shaded, then you need
plants that prefer shade. Plants
placed in the wrong location will
not thrive and will be suscepti
ble to many problems in the
future. Select plant cultivars
that are known to be less sus
ceptible to insects, mites, and
diseases. Also, consider growing l
plants that are native to your
area, or native with similar
growing conditions.
Help plants get a good start
by planting them correctly.
Mistakes made when planting
or when applying mulch can
result in weakened plants that
are prone to problems.
Healthy, vigorous plants are
less vulnerable to damage
caused by insects, mites, and
diseases. Provide the best grow
ing conditions by soil testing for

available at Penn State
Cooperative Extension for $6
each. Water plants regularly
until they become established.
Follow proper pruning recom

Debris that builds up in the
landscape may harbor pests and
plant diseases. Remove dead or
dying plants. Rake and remove
leaves that drop off plants. If a
branch is broken or diseased,
prune it. Use organic mulches
that have been composited prop
erly. Apply a layer no deeper
than two or three inches, mak
ing sure the mulch does not
touch the trunk or main stem of
the plant.
Inspect plants regularly
throughout the season for bene

natural enemies that prey on it
often appear as well. Ib monitor
the health of plants in a land
scape, you also must be able to
recognize these beneficial
insects. You may need to tolerate
some plant injury before popula
tions of beneficial insects and
mites build up enough to keep a
pest in check.
It is important to understand
the biology of many different
plants. Additionally, knowing
how pests and plants are affect
