Back to Pest Management Analysis and Planning Program

With its annual Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Innovator awards, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) honors agricultural and nonagricultural California groups, organizations, or companies for their innovative approaches to IPM and reduced-risk pest management and their leadership role in promoting these practices. Nominations are accepted throughout the year.

Since the inception of the IPM Innovator Award program in 1994, DPR has presented more than 100 IPM Innovator awards to honor California organizations that emphasize pest prevention, favor least-hazardous pest management, and share their successful strategies with others.
