This grant aims to support the development and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) practices, tactics, and systems. Its core purpose is to address specific pest problems while reducing human and environmental risks, aligning with the ‘National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management’. Commercial production faces severe challenges from regulatory changes, new pest emergence, and developing resistance to current technologies. These impacts are significant for specialty crops, grain, forage, fiber, and animal health. The grant seeks innovative, sustainable solutions to these pressing pest management issues.

| 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. |
