An IPM Webinar Series
The University of Idaho Integrated Pest Management Program aims to provide Idahoans with the information and tools necessary to implement integrated pest management programs that effectively and economically manage pests while reducing risks to human health and the environment. Our diverse team of faculty and staff work in systems statewide ranging from large scale production of our state’s primary crops, to backyard gardens, and homes.

The overall goal of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program at Montana State University Extension is to reduce health and environmental risks from pest management, to develop and deliver accurate information on modern IPM practices, and to increase IPM adoption. Our focus areas involve tactics and tools for plant protection, enhancing agricultural biosecurity, and IPM for sustainable communities.
Our IPM program encompasses several areas, including agronomic crops, communities, pollinator health, specialty crops, pest diagnostic facilities, and pesticide education. Led by Dr. Tim Seipel, IPM Director and Extension Cropland Weed Ecologist, the interdisciplinary MSU Team of IPM Specialists collaborate to support extension implementation of integrated pest management programming across Montana.

The goal of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program at the University of Nevada, Reno is to improve adoption and implementation of IPM strategies that respond to changes in climate and minimize adverse environmental effects from pests and related management strategies through education of Nevada citizens and land managers. As the driest state in the U.S. with a rapidly urbanizing population, our IPM programs focus on protection of water quality and efficient water management practices to improve the health and vitality of plants in our urban communities.
Our educational programs include IPM in residential and commercial communities, pollinator protection strategies, and education for pesticide applicators. Our team is directed by Dr. Heidi Kratsch, professor and sustainable horticulture specialist and is led by Carrie Jensen, urban IPM and pesticide safety education program coordinator. Our interdisciplinary team engages and partners with the university master gardener and green industry programs, as well as with state agencies and local nonprofits, to provide public access to practical IPM information our citizens can trust.
