Pacific NW Landscape Integrated Pest Management Manual MISC0201   Author(s): Van M. Bobbitt, Arthur L. Antonelli, Carrie R. Foss, Roy M. Davidson Jr., Ralph S. Byther, Raymond R. Maleike Culture of Key Trees & Shrubs, Problem Diagnosis and Management Options. This manual will walk you through the steps to better landscape care. It focuses on 19 key groups of woody landscape plants common in the Pacific Northwest, providing in-depth information on what to do, and when. Plants in your landscape will give you their all if you take time to get to know them. Knowing which plants like full sun or partial shade, which need well-drained soil or tolerate drought, and which are disease resistant can save you many hours of correcting plant culture problems. You also need to learn about landscape pests and their life cycles. Integrated pest management, or IPM, looks at the entire landscape environment instead of treating individual problems in isolation. For instance, you will learn to look at the level of the problem before you spray. Plants can tolerate a few harmful insects to better protect the beneficial ones in a managed environment. What you believe is insect damage may actually be caused by disease or drought stress, or even by spray drift from another section of your landscape-or someone else's. Carefully identify your pest problem before you begin to treat your landscape. The companion volume is MISC0194, Landscape Plant Problems: A Pictorial Diagnostic Manual.
