PHC is designed to optimize your plants health and is as much a change in attitude as a change in technique. Not only does it emphasize plant health over pest management, it takes an ecosystem approach that emphasizes working with nature instead of fighting nature; it sees proper culture as the foundation of a healthy landscape. PHC is not a rejection of IPM. Basically, PHC has evolved from IPM, still incorporates all IPM principles, but goes beyond IPM.
There are several steps involved in implementing a PHC program which are:
 |
Identify and list all plants in your yard |
|
Determine the key problems |
|
Study your landscape ecosystem |
|
Frequent monitoring |
|
Optimize plant health |
