This report summarizes information on the extent of adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) techniques in the production of fruits, vegetables, and major field crops. Farmers are considered to be using IPM if, before making pesticide application decisions, they closely monitor pest populations (scouting) in order to determine when a population has reached an economically damaging threshold. Over half of the Nation's fruit, vegetable, and major field crop acres are now under some level of IPM, according to USDA survey data. A host of pest management practices are used, and their adoption rates vary by crop and State. The data suggest two strategies to increase adoption of IPM. One is to increase the availability of alternative practices through more research in crops and regions where few alternatives are used. A second is to encourage more farmers to adopt existing IPM technology.
