The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska is offering this grant to support experimental research in integrated pest management within agricultural fields. This initiative aims to collaborate with private producers to develop better methods for harvesting and processing straw products, specifically to ensure they are weed-free. The grant is for the purpose of establishing a reliable, biodegradable, and locally-produced source of natural fiber materials. These products are intended for use as dog bedding during winter dog sled mushing activities and must meet the stringent weed-free requirements outlined in the BLM Alaska Invasive Species Management Policy. This research will address the critical need for environmentally compliant and effective weed-free solutions in Alaska.
