This grant from the Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP) is designed to support the development and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) practices, tactics, and systems. The core purpose of this grant is to address specific pest problems, thereby reducing associated human and environmental risks. This initiative directly aligns with the broad goals outlined in the “National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management.” The grant addresses critical challenges in commercial production, including regulatory changes, the emergence of new pests, and the growing resistance to current management technologies. While its greatest impact is on specialty crops, the grant also supports efforts in grain, forage, fiber, and animal health.

| Description: | The purpose of Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP) is to provide support for the development and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) practices, tactics, and systems for specific pest problems while reducing human and environmental risks. This purpose addresses the broad goals outlined in the “National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management,” developed by federal and non-federal IPM experts, practitioners, and stakeholders in 2004. The successful management of pest problems in commercial production is facing severe challenges due to regulatory changes, emergence of new pest problems, and the development of pest resistance to present management technologies. The greatest impact on current management technologies is in the production of specialty crops; however, other crops, including grain, forage and fiber, as well as animal health, are also being impacted by these changes. |
