FUNDING ZEROED FOR IPM CENTERS IN 2011 FEDERAL BUDGET

Since 2000, the Northeastern IPM Center has fostered the development and adoption of integrated pest management, disbursing more than 190 grants (totaling nearly $6.4 million) for projects that focus on important pest problems and provide economic, environmental, and human health benefits to our region. Now the Center faces an uncertain future because the USDA program that supports IPM Centers has not been funded in the proposed 2011 federal budget (which begins in September 2011). Read on to learn more about this threat and what you can do to help.
