Description
The overarching goals of the Regional
Integrated Pest Management Centers (IPM Centers) program are to improve the
cost benefit analyses of adopting IPM practices and to reduce the environmental
and human health risks associated with managing pests. The IPM Centers will
promote the development and implementation of IPM by facilitating collaboration
across states, disciplines, and purposes. They will serve as focal points for
regional pest management information networks, collaborative team building, and
broad-based stakeholder participation. The end result will be increased
coordination of IPM research, education and extension efforts and enhanced
responsiveness to critical, priority pest management and global food security
challenges.
