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
