About the National IPM Network

The National IPM Network is a WWW system to provide the most accurate urban and agricultural IPM information. Participating institutions have agreed to a set of standards which ensure science-based, unbiased pest managment information.

The backbone of the National IPM Network consists of web servers for each of the USDA defined regions (Southern, Northeastern, North Central, and Western) in the US. Within each region, participating institutions are providing state-specific or subject-specific information.

The network is supported by a partnership of University, Extension, Industry and Government. We welcome and encourage the participation of any interested institution.
