IPM Planning and Evaluation

Other Resources

The IPM Road Map is the key document in defining the overarching goals of U.S. government-sponsored IPM programs. The Road Map identifies strategic directions for IPM research, implementation, and measurement for all pests, in all settings, throughout the nation.
