The U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) awarded The Ohio State University a $230,365 project grant under the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329). The grant funds an integrated pest management (IPM) program to address pest-related challenges across agricultural and community environments in Ohio. The program will deliver a mix of traditional educational activities, technology-based outreach, and coordinated efforts with Central State University to support IPM implementation and adoption for field crops, specialty crops, and public health pest management. Key activities include developing educational resources, conducting demonstration trials, organizing conferences and workshops, and providing training on topics such as invasive pests, pollinator health, and pest monitoring. The grant also includes a sub-award to Central State University to assist with mushroom production education and IPM practices. This project aims to enhance food security, sustainability, and environmentally responsible pest management in Ohio.
