This information guide is designed as a reference for lettuce growers, crop consultants and agronomists associated with the lettuce industry in Australia. It provides essential knowledge about integrated pest management (IPM) as well as invaluable reference material for the IPM practitioner.

Knowledge of the identity, abundance and dynamics of pest populations and their relationships with other insects are fundamental to an IPM program, and will assist growers to reduce costs and increase productivity.

The guide contains information on:

  • what IPM is;
  • what tools are needed to conduct an IPM program;
  • how to monitor lettuce crops;
  • treatment thresholds and how they vary;
  • what ‘beneficials’ are, and how to employ them;
  • how pesticide resistance develops and how to combat it;
  • principles of spray application.

      ISBN 0 7347 1346 0

      This information guide is a companion publication to Pests, diseases, disorders and beneficials in lettuce: field identification guide.

      Both books can also be purchased as a package.
