The Ohio State Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program is a comprehensive program that is designed to encourage collaboration and innovation among Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) scientists and Ohio State Extension personnel to better address the pest management needs of the citizens of Ohio. Our goal is to reduce the environmental, economic and social risk associated with managing pests (insect, disease or weed). To accomplish this goal we work with OSU collaborators in 6 areas of emphasis to evaluate and disseminate new IPM information. These areas are Agronomic IPM, Consumer/Urban (Master Gardener training), Specialty Crop IPM (Vegetable and Urban Ag.), Conservation Partnerships (IPM incentives), Pest Diagnostics, and Housing IPM (bedbugs).
