IPM in Washington
With a firm foundation of laboratory and applied research, faculty and staff of WSU communicate the latest in crop protection and sustainable pest management tactics to our state's agricultural producers and other end users.
Agricultural IPM
Washington State produces over 300 agricultural commodities, and WSU's
researchers and extension professionals serve many of them. From field
crops to seed crops, small fruits to tree fruits, this site contains
information on a wide variety of IPM tactics. The next time you tuck
into a green salad, ribeye steak, and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon,
thank the lettuce seed, beef cattle, and wine grape specialists at WSU.
Urban IPM
Integrated pest management touches our lives in our homes, our offices, and our children's schools. Indoors and outdoors, it's a concern wherever people and pests live in proximity. Innovative, research-based training programs developed and delivered by WSU's urban IPM specialists are addressing urban IPM all across Washington State.
Information Outreach
Working throughout the state, we provide a wide variety of research-based
information to students, growers, structural pest control operators, landscape
professionals, schools, and homeowners, including
- printed materials
- classroom instruction
- field demonstrations
- websites such as this
- workshops
- IPM certification programs
