The Department of Agriculture is offering the Pest Management Alternatives Research Grants to support the development and implementation of integrated pest management practices. These grants aim to address specific pest problems while minimizing human and environmental risks, in alignment with the goals of the ‘National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management.’ As regulations evolve and pests develop resistance to current technologies, this grant targets commercial production challenges, especially in specialty crops. Researchers and practitioners can apply by the closing date on May 14, 2012.

| 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. |
