Why It MattersPest Pressure Is Easier to
Pest Pressure Is Easier to
Prevent Than Correct
Severe pest and disease outbreaks rarely happen all at once. They build over time through small gaps in sanitation, quarantine, scouting, workflow, airflow, humidity, and record keeping.
This guide helps growers understand where those gaps often start — and how to build a more complete IPM program around prevention, monitoring, and timely intervention.
A stronger IPM program can help your team
- Catch pest pressure earlier
- Reduce reactive decision-making
- Improve facility consistency
- Strengthen team workflows
- Support cleaner crop cycles
- Make more informed control decisions
- Track what is working over time

A Better IPM Program Starts
Before the Outbreak
The strongest IPM programs do not wait until pests are visible across the crop. They combine prevention, monitoring, identification, action thresholds, controls, and record keeping into one connected system.
This guide walks through each layer of that system so your team can take action earlier — and with more confidence.
