Adaptive IPM for Invasive Agricultural Pests Program
The "Proactive IPM Solutions" program has become "Adaptive IPM for Invasive Agricultural Pests," signifying a transition towards a more responsive, dynamic, and inclusive approach.
The goal of CDFA's Adaptive IPM for Invasive Agricultural Pests program is to develop IPM program(s) or components that can be rapidly implemented when new invasive agricultural pests arrive and become established in California or when recently arrived invasive pests resurge or expand their range or host species. The program also supports research to refine and optimize existing IPM strategies to improve their effectiveness or exploring additional control measures against established invasive agricultural pests that drive extensive pesticide use but remain uncontrolled due to developed pesticide resistance.
