RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Appropriate Response Process (ARP) and its role in Plant Health Care JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO JOA FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 24 OP 30 DO 10.48044/jauf.1999.004 VO 25 IS 1 A1 Ball, John A1 Lloyd, John E. A1 Marion, Daniel F. YR 1999 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/25/1/24.abstract AB Plant health care (PHC) is presented as a strategy for the professional care of ornamental landscapes. Plant health care incorporates plant care practices, including integrated pest management (IPM), into a comprehensive management system. This system requires that the practitioner use information about the plant, the stressor, and the client when making management decisions. The appropriate response process (ARP) is introduced as a conceptual model of the PHC decision-making process.
