Brief Project Summary:

This project supports the management, coordination and accountability to implement community-based pest resistance management as described in the Iowa Pest Resistance Management Plan. It documents and promotes holistic and integrated management solutions that will effectively and sustainably control pests, and postpone or delay resistance development, foster methods of early detection, and then mitigate, to the extent possible, the spread of pest resistance in the state of Iowa. A goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of engaging farmers, crop advisors, cooperatives, lending institutions and pesticide companies in voluntarily adopting pest resistance management practices. Efforts address both weed and insect resistance.

Key Benefactors:
