| This IPM site was created as
part of the vision of the
Partnership for Regional Cooperation (PARECO), a U.S. North Central
Regional project. The purpose of PARECO is to
assist Extension, Agricultural Experiment Station, and Natural Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS) employees in developing new ways of communicating, collaborating and
sharing state-of-the-art tools and information systems. Michigan State University is
responsible for the integrated pest management portion of this project. PARECO topics
addressed by other North Central Regional universities include a range of soil and water
quality issues for agriculture. Visit the PARECO Web site to learn more.
The Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
committee of PARECO chaired by MSU and included these members:
- Charles Edson, IPM Program, Michigan State University
- Joy Landis, IPM Program, Michigan State University
- Susan Smalley, Sustainable Ag, Michigan State University
- Larry Dyer, Sustainable Ag, Michigan State University
- Bruce Giebink, Water Quality Education, University of
Minnesota
- Brian Jensen, IPM Program, University of Wisconsin
- George Smith, IPM Program, University of Missouri
Additional web research and expertise were provided
by Betsy Bricker, MSU Sustainable Ag and Todd Rossman, MSU IPM/Pesticide Ed./PIAP Programs
