IPM / Pest Management Training
 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) blends the science
of pest biology with control technology. The goal is to find
the best solution to a pest problem (or combination of problems),
taking into consideration both the economic and environmental
impacts of control decisions.
This course is designed for agency staff and consultants who
are writing and/or reviewing pest management plans for farms
under the Conservation Security Program, EQIP, or local watershed
cost-share agreements. The first two sessions are designed for
the agency staff who have limited experience with pest management,
while the third and fourth sessions focus on the mechanics and
implementation of a 595 pest management plan.
