A brief description of the IPM program:
At the Lyle Center of Regenerative Studies, 16 acres are maintained with an IPM plan. Insects which threaten crops are controlled through integrated pest management techniques. Flowering plants in the garden attract predatory insects which feed on agricultural pests. Organic pesticides made out of garlic and peppers are also applied.
IPM is also a top consideration at 40 acres of AGRIscapes, where an IPM program is used in every decision made in regard to any pesticide used based on a four tiered approach.
A brief description of the institution's approach to plant stewardship:
As campus facilities are constructed or renovated, Cal Poly Pomona institution opts for uses native plantings in replacement. In addition, areas of lawn have been converted to native and drought tolerant planting beds. Approximately 40-50% of the Landscape planting on campus would be considered a native or “water wise” planting. Of the newer installations on campus in the last 10 years, approximately 70-80% are native/drought tolerant.
