MoniTor® Rx IPM Program

A Technical Report from The Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories

The MoniTor® Rx Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program is designed to minimize landscape pesticide inputs. When needed, woody landscape plants are protected with products that are certified organic (OMRI) or based on naturally occurring materials. The original MoniTor® IPM Program has a proven record of reducing pesticide use by 90%. MoniTor® Rx programs emphasize plant health and regular monitoring for pest activity by a skilled pest management specialist. When pest management is necessary, naturally based materials and techniques are employed. This program protects the environment, promotes landscape ecosystem health and can reduce anxieties regarding the toxicity and persistence of human-made pesticides.
