This $284,483 federal Project Grant award, funded by the USDA's Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329), supports the Arizona Pest Management Center (APMC) at the University of Arizona in delivering integrated pest management (IPM) education and outreach programs.
The APMC, a collaborative effort of University of Arizona research and extension resources, will design, implement, and evaluate tailored IPM programs addressing priority stakeholder needs in three focus areas: IPM implementation in agronomic and specialty crops, IPM in communities including housing and schools, and IPM in public health. Key objectives include empowering pest managers to apply IPM knowledge, reducing economic, environmental, and health risks from pests and pest management practices, and measuring the learning outcomes and impacts of the programs. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025.
