A 4-page factsheet that provides information on integrated pest management (IPM) for lettuce to help growers with selecting the best tools for managing pests. The major steps involved in implementing the IPM strategy include: 1. identifying key pests and understanding their lifecycles, including what naturally eats/kills them (eg their natural enemies and unfavourable climatic conditions); 2. preventing pests from being in your crop or increasing in numbers to the point of causing economic damage; 3. monitoring crops for pests and numbers; 4. controlling the pest when numbers are causing economic damage; and 5. evaluating immediate effectiveness of direct controls and overall success of the program. Control options include: mechanical methods (chipping weeds or diseased plants); biological methods (introducing a beneficial insect or using a biological spray, eg Bt or NPV); cultural or managerial methods (selecting varieties that are resistant to diseases, crop rotation etc); or chemical methods. When a pesticide is used, every effort should be made to maximise its efficacy. Resistance management guidelines should also be followed.
