Special Research Grants Program - Pest Management Alternatives
The purpose of Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP) is to provide support for and encourage 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 broader "National Roadmap for Integrated Pest Management," (http://www.ipmcenters.org/Docs/IPMRoadMap.pdf).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.
