Additional Notes

The National Science Foundation Center for Integrated Pest Management (CIPM) fosters the development and implementation of pest management programs based on a high level of knowledge of pest biology coupled with choices of monitoring tools and control technology, resulting in economically sound, environmentally compatible, and sociologically responsible pest management in diverse systems including both crop production and urban settings.

The CIPM is an organizational unit within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University. It is composed of faculty members from all academic departments in the College and involves all relevant disciplines impacting on Integrated Pest Managment (IPM). The CIPM also involves scientists from other universities across the nation through grants, contracts, or other formal working relationships.
