IPM Innovator Award Winners
IPM (Integrated Pest Management) Innovators are leaders in adopting techniques that increase the benefits and reduce the risks of pest control. The Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency, recognized the first twelve IPM Innovators in 1994.
IPM is an approach to managing pests that combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. Each IPM Innovator has organized to develop the knowledge and techniques necessary for its particular circumstances.
DPR commends these groups for the skill, inspiration, and courage they have shown in pursuing new systems of pest control, and we applaud their efforts to share their experiences with others.
You may wish to contact representatives of these groups to learn more about their programs and the benefits of organizing to promote IPM.
