Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP)
Priorities for Determining Funding in FY 2006
|
|
Northeastern PMAP projects may be research, outreach, or both.
Applicants should address one of the priorities listed below or a pest management need identified by stakeholders to the Northeastern IPM Center, as listed on our website northeastipm.org/regu_regional.cfm. Provide a citation for the priority. Please note that PMAP cannot fund community or residential IPM projects.
• Weed management. Develop or improve IPM options, including weed identification, for agricultural settings.
• Nursery pest management. Research, or provide outreach for, nursery pests, including diseases, insects, vertebrates, and weeds.
• Pest monitoring systems. Assess, develop, and distribute new or improved methods.
• Critical or emerging pests. Develop IPM tactics for pest problems of regional or national magnitude. Examples of issues that could fit into this project type are plum pox virus, soybean rust, West Nile virus, or perhaps a newly discovered invasive species that could have a significant impact on the economics of the Northeast.
These priorities were derived from a November 2004 poll of the Northeastern IPM Center's advisory council, state network project leaders, IPM working group leaders, and state IPM Coordinators and other NEREAP members.
