Ohio IPM Block Grant

( Previously knew as Ohio IPM Mini- Grant )

The Ohio IPM Block Grant program was initiated in 1989 in support of innovative and interdisciplinary IPM projects by county and state extension and research faculty. General objectives of projects funded have included: (1) promotion of judicious use of pesticides; (2) adoption of IPM practices having minimal environmental impact; (3) reduction of off-target movement of pesticides; (4) integration of biological, cultural, genetic and chemical pest management practives; and (5) enhancement of IPM information delivery via OSU Extension programs.

The IPM Block Grant program has facilitated implementation of a diversity of projects benefiting a number of agricultural commodities and urban habitats. At the conclusion of each calendar year, a report has been compiled on projects funded.
