The work, carried out through a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant, is aimed at providing information on all aspects of pests associated with school areas and the especially critical aspects of designing and implementing management programs. Please practice caution when using any of this information. Good Integrated Pest Management, like good politics, is local. The best information for you is that originating in your own state. Although much of this information travels well, some does not.
Biological organisms behave differently under different conditions.
Moreover, growing conditions, cropping systems and regulations vary among states. Identification of a plant, insect, or fungus might be the same in different locales. Population growth rates, economic thresholds and recommended management practices often differ. Caveat emptor . This site is part of the National IPM Network Developed and managed by James R.
