Ecological Selectivity
Differential mortality based on pesticide
use
Formulation (e.g. granules result in more
mortality on soil pests than on foliar NE’s)
Placement (e.g. spot sprays, seed treatments,
wicks, in-furrow).
Timing (e.g. pre vs. post-emergent
applications, diurnal timing for bees)
Dosage Reduced dosage usually used in
conjunction with one of those above

Ecological Selectivity

  • Differential mortality based on pesticide

use

  • Formulation (e.g. granules result in more mortality on soil pests than on foliar NE’s)
  • Placement (e.g. spot sprays, seed treatments, wicks, in-furrow).
  • Timing (e.g. pre vs. post-emergent applications, diurnal timing for bees)
  • Dosage – Reduced dosage usually used in conjunction with one of those above

Uses of Selectivity in IPM

  • Mammalian toxicity of decreasing

significance except in urban/structural IPM

  • Insecticides – Physiological selectivity

favored (target & non-target intermingled)

  • Herbicides – Historically favored

ecological selectivity

  • Bactericides/Fungicides – Non-selective

pesticides usually favored.

What are Reduced Risk Pesticides?

  • Any pesticide that meets any of the following criteria: - Reduce human health risk - Reduce risk to non-target organisms - Reduce environmental contamination - Enhance IPM adoption
  • All ingredients of a pesticide must meet these criteria
  • Can include traditional or biorational
  • Reduced risk pesticides have greatly reduced regulatory burdens: incentive to manufacturers & farmers

Pesticide Interactions

Book has these three categories, mostly

discussed as antagonistic interactions.

  • Formulation Incompatibility
  • Altered Crop Tolerance
  • Alteration of Efficacy

More Thoughts on Interactions

  • Additive Effects – Most Common:
    • Different pesticides with the same formulation but targeting different pests.
  • Synergistic Effects – pesticides used in

combination are more effective than when used alone: Two types:

  • Biochemical
  • Ecological
  • Antagonistic Interactions
  • Formulation–based = “Incompatibility”
  • Biological = “Pesticide Antagonism”

Pest Replacement

  • Mostly a problem with arthropods and

weeds

  • Tends to be more reversible with arthropods
  • Note Fig. 12-

Resurgence

  • Mostly documented with insect pests
  • Mostly associated with indirect, secondary/minor

pests for several reasons.

  • Key pests are watched too closely to resurge
  • Direct pests are mainly late-season pests & there isn’t time to resurge
  • Pest must be held at least partially in check by some agent that is affected by the pesticide
  • Note Fig. 12-6 in book.
