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 5 areas of emphasis to evaluate and disseminate new IPM information. These areas are Agronomic IPM, High Value Crop IPM, Conservation Partnerships, Pest Diagnostics, and School IPM. In addition this year we will enhance our collaboration with the Cleveland Botanical Garden Green Corp. Urban Youth Program.
