Evaluation IPM Working Group: Overview

Funded in 2009, the IPM Evaluation Working Group is working to document IPM adoption in two specific areas of agricultural and structural IPM. The agricultural subgroup conference calls have resulted in the decision to complete an IPM Guideline for Soybeans and convert it into a Dillman survey to measure adoption in the DelMarVa-WV region. The structural subgroup is deploying an on-line Survey Monkey™ instrument to housing authorities, health departments, grantees and others in the Northeast. The group is cataloging existing data and plans for a large-scale assessment of IPM in multifamily housing.
