2Introduction
- In September 2000, USDA funded a nationwide
pest management information network of four
regional Integrated Pest Management Centers to
ensure coordination of efforts and resources to
enhance IPM development and adoption for
production agriculture, natural resources,
recreational environments, and residential and
public sites.
3Introduction
- The 3-d PIAP funds were used to fund
- this Section 406 competitive program.
- Other 3-d programs of Water Quality
- and Food Safety were moved to Section
- 406 and became competitively funded.
- Washington created a new program to
- do coordination and leadership at the
- regional level which Washington is
- unable to efficiently do.

specialists, and government agency
representatives.
24Working Groups

33Pest Management Strategic Plans
- Pest Management Strategic Plans are
commodity-based documents that take a
pest-by-pest approach to identifying current pest
management practices (chemical and non-chemical).
Each PMSP, developed by a coalition of
scientists, crop consultants, industry
representatives, commodity organizations, growers
and others, focuses on production in a state or
region, addressing needs and identifying
priorities for research, regulatory activity, and
education/training programs.
34Pest Alerts
- Pest Alerts, both regional and national,
provide timely and accurate information on
emerging pests thus allowing states to develop
management programs.
35Next Pest Alerts
- Select Agents
- Sudden oak death
- Ralstonia solanacearum
- potato/tomato
- Greenhouse/geranium
- Potato wart
- Brown stripe downy mildew of corn
36Crop Timelines
- Crop Timelines provide current information on
crop phenology, pest occurrence, and human
activities in the crop. Crop timelines are also
part of crop profiles and PMSPs.

42GRANTS MANAGEMENT
- The NC IPM Center manages several competitive
grants programs. These programs address regional
priorities, set by the Steering Committee and
Advisory Committee with support from Working
Groups, State Contacts, IPM Coordinators, and
other stakeholders. Proposals are evaluated by
external review panels and approved for funding
by the Steering Committee.
43Regional IPM Competitive Grants Program (RIPM)
- Supports the continuum of research and
extension efforts needed to increase the
implementation of IPM methods by funding projects
that develop individual pest management tactics,
integrate individual tactics into an IPM system,
and develop and implement extension and education
programs.
44Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP)
- Supports development of replacement tactics
and technologies for pesticides undergoing
regulatory action where there are no effective
registered alternatives. It funds short-term
projects for technologies that show promise of
adoption but require further demonstration and
outreach.

links to partners, and databases of pest
management information.
