Under Construction
Thank you for visiting our new website. The Seed Crop IPM website, including this sub-page devoted to production issues, is maintained by the WSU Seed Crop Team, a cross-state, interdisciplinary project to protect and enhance the seed industry in Washington State. The project is in its infancy. Stay tuned for more links, more presentations, and more information designed to help the seed crop industries of Washington State remain viable and competitive.

USDA Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs)
Developed by growers, commodity associations, land-grant specialists, food processors, crop consultants, and EPA, these plans address pest management needs and priorities for individual commodities in a given region, taking a pest-by-pest approach to identifying the current management practices (chemical and non-chemical) and those under development. Plans also state the commodity's priorities for research, regulatory activity, and education/training programs needed for transition to alternative pest management practices.
