Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program takes an active role in promoting and facilitating the use of IPM; best management practices that emphasize quality production and health while minimizing reliance on pesticides.  The IPM program provides leadership and technical expertise to farms and communities through education, demonstration and outreach activities.

The IPM program works closely with the Maine Integrated Pest Management Council to promote IPM in the state.
