PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> Cultiva, LLC <br /> An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach will be taken during all stages of <br /> cultivation. The combined and precisely timed prophylactic application of State- <br /> approved beneficial bacteria, fungi, and arthropods will be the primary mode of pest <br /> control, with the use of State-approved plant-based contact sprays reserved as an <br /> alternative mode of defense. State-approved sulfur applications may also be used at <br /> certain stages of cultivation. <br /> Methods to control insect pests that do not include the application of pesticides: <br /> Use of natural enemies (predatory insects, mites and nematodes) <br /> Spider mite control: <br /> Use predatory mites <br /> Neoseiulus californicus <br /> Phytoseiulus persimilis <br /> Broad mite control: <br /> Use predatory mites <br /> Neoseiulus californicus <br /> Amblyseius swirskii <br /> Russet Mite Control: <br /> Use predatory mites <br /> Amblyseius swirskii <br /> Thrips Control: <br /> Use predatory mites <br /> Amblyseius swirskii <br /> Neoseiulus cucumeris <br /> Amblydromalus limonicus <br /> Stratiolaelaps scimitus <br /> Use predatory insects <br /> Orius insidiosus <br /> Use entomopathogenic nematodes <br /> Steinernema feltiae <br /> Aphids Control (depends of species of aphids <br /> Use predatory insects <br /> Chrysoperla carnea <br /> Use Parasitic wasp <br /> Aphidius colemani <br /> Aphidius ervi <br /> Root Aphid Control <br /> Use entomopathogenic nematodes <br /> Heterorhabditis bacteriophora <br /> Use predatory mites <br />
