Pest Management Alliance Program
Due to California's budget shortfall, funding for pest management alliance grants will not be available for new awards beginning in fiscal year 2002-2003.
The Department of Pesticide Regulation's (DPR) Pest Management Alliance Program was established in 1998. The program has provided support for agricultural, nonagricultural and urban groups to develop and demonstrate pest management systems that reduce risks associated with pesticide use. DPR has established alliances with members of the regulated community to jointly focus on solutions. Alliance projects have addressed problems that participants recognize as important. The ultimate goal is to increase adoption of reduced-risk pest management practices. For further information regarding the Pest Management Alliance Program contact Bob Elliott at or call (916) 445-3914.
- Evaluations are the first step in preparing a Pest Management Alliance proposal (see below, for information on Alliances). Evaluations describe an existing pest management system, including those practices that reduce the risks associated with pesticide use. More detailed information on how to prepare an evaluation is included in the request for proposal for a pest management alliance.
- Alliances are formed to help agricultural groups, nonagricultural groups, urban groups, and others address important pest management issues on a regional or statewide scale. The Alliance is devoted to reducing risks associated with pesticide use, while establishing a dialogue with DPR. Alliance groups are asked to establish a team, evaluate their existing pest management system, and develop a proposal to demonstrate and promote adoption of reduced-risk alternatives. Successful Alliances include groups with broad influence such as commodity, professional or industry organizations that can facilitate widespread adoption of reduced-risk practices.
