// Definition
Integrated pest management approach using systemic pesticides that are absorbed into plant tissue to combat internal and external pests. Controversial in cannabis due to consumer safety concerns, but advocates argue proper one-time application at correct dosage is more effective than repeated under-dosing.
// From the Episode
Fletch (SPEAKER_12) gave an extended defense of strategic systemic pesticide use, arguing that passing clean clones is more important than passing untreated ones. He emphasized using the right product at the right time to completely eradicate pests rather than under-dosing and creating resistance. Jenn Doe (SPEAKER_01) drew parallels to antibiotic resistance in humans, warning that under-dosing creates resistant pest populations.
