This $205,175 federal Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.329 Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program) supports an integrated pest management (IPM) program led by Auburn University. The project, titled "The Alabama (AL) EIP Project", provides critical IPM support and training to state extension specialists, regional agents, diagnosticians, and students in Alabama. Key objectives include improving cost-benefit for producers adopting IPM approaches, minimizing human and environmental risks from pest management, and developing the next generation of IPM scientists. The project addresses priorities in IPM implementation for agronomic/specialty crops (61.8%), pollinator health (11.8%), and pest diagnostic services (11.9%), with additional work in IPM coordination and evaluation (14.5%). Auburn University is the prime awardee for this 1-year project, which commenced on September 1, 2024.
