“…They are used as indirect management tools (e.g., survey and detection) to inform management decisions (e.g., the need for and timing of insecticide applications) and as direct management tools (e.g., mass trapping, mating disruption, lure-and-kill/infect) (Nadel et al 2012, Noeth et al 2020). The high level of specificity of how semiochemicals influence behavior necessitates precision in studying individual pest species (Scheepers et al 2020). Understanding cryptic diversity is therefore important.…”

There are numerous new and emerging technologies that allow for greater precision in forest pest management, from sequencing and chemical analyses, to data collection through smart technologies, and integration, analysis and sharing of data across fields. These technologies allow for the development of much more precise tools for pest management than has ever before been possible; an approach that we define as Precision Pest Management (PPM). They also allow for more rapid development of IPM tools, as well as the ability for early recognition and response to changes in pest population densities and distributions. We argue that there is an increasing need for a PPM approach and that we harness the opportunities these technologies offer to deal with the scale and complexity of pest management in the future.
