UC Ag Experts Talk: Decision Thresholds: The Fatal Attraction at the Heart of IPM

Dr. Neil McRoberts discussed economic thresholds and how they have been a cornerstone of IPM since the development of the concept of integrated management. He provided a refresher to the basic ideas underlying the use of thresholds and then took a different perspective on the subject which raised some interesting questions about the validity of the generally accepted ideas about what thresholds do.
The webinar was recorded on September 20, 2023 and targeted to growers and pest management professionals. For Master Gardeners and others serving home environments, please note that management methods, especially any pesticides mentioned, are not to be used without a clear understanding of their legal use. Continuing Education credits are not available for recorded webinars. Closed captions are being reviewed for accuracy and will be corrected as necessary.
Speaker: Dr. Neil McRoberts, Professor in the Dept. of Plant Pathology at UC Davis and also an Affiliate Advisor with the UC Statewide IPM Program.
