Abstract

Integrated pest management (IPM) has become especially important for vegetable crops because of iricreased public pressure to reduce pesticide use on these crops. The funding and adoption of IPM programs for vegetable crops during the 1980's are examined in this report. Vegetable IPM usage statistics are based on data from annual State-level Extension Service reports, which are mandated for federally funded extension IPM programs. According to these reports, both vegetable IPM funding and acreage increased dramatically during the 1980's.
