Integrated Pest Management Plan Criteria Practice/Activity Code (114) (No.) Definition: An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan is a conservation activity plan documenting decisions by producer/growers who agree to implement an ecosystem-based strategy that is a sustainable approach to manage pests using a combination of conservation practices and IPM techniques that are characterize as chemical tools, biological control, and habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices and use of resistant varieties. Methods of chemical applications are selected in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment. The Pest Management “Integrated activity plan” will: Meets NRCS quality criteria for soil erosion, water quality, air quality, and plant quality; Comply with federal, state, tribal, and local laws, regulations and permit requirements; Addresses operator’s objectives. Producers choose to implement an Integrated Pest Management Plan for reasons that include, but are not limited to: Managing pests effectively and economically; Minimizing the risk associated with pest suppression; Producing quality commodities; IPM Plan Criteria This section establishes the minimum criteria to be addressed in the development and implementation of Integrated Pest Management Plans developed by a certified Technical Service Provider (TSP). Complete the Integrated Pest Management Plan (114) template provided that includes the following items: Background and site information; Farm location and mailing address; Soils Map and soil map units description using the Web Soil Survey as a minimum printout the Soil Report > AOI Inventory > Map Unit Descriptions Digital Conservation plan map with; Streams, surface waters, surface drainage, and wetlands on or adjacent to site. Locations of sensitive resource identified on the plan map to include: Streams, drains, surface waters, wetlands, wells, groundwater, drains, grassed waterways and existing buffer practices; Sensitive wildlife habitat (on and off-site), food plots; Potential off-target drift areas; Property field Boundaries, name/number, acres, and land use Map scale Structural practices located on Map Legend Identification of beneficial predators and parasites;
