IPM Web Site Updated

 

For the first time, users can find pest management information specific to a host plant such as this Asian citrus adult.

Hundreds of new pests have been added to the Pests in Homes, Gardens, Landscapes, and Turf section of the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program Web site at www.ipm.ucdavis.edu. For the first time, users can find pest management information specific to a host plant.

More than 120 plant species are covered. Emphasis is on least-toxic management methods that protect health and the environment. The information allows users to make quick, informed management decisions while decreasing pesticide use. The database is continually updated, and additional plants and pests will be added over the next year.
