Annual Report. Sounds like a snoozer, doesn’t it?
But hey, ours is great. Worth bragging about, frankly. Because we tell true stories about the really cool IPM work, whether research or outreach, we do around New York — and even with partners around the Northeast and across the nation.
Stories crafted with you, the busy (but curious) reader, in mind. Seek no further: NYS IPM’s The year in review: 2013 – 2014.
What kind of work? In a nutshell: whatever will help curb both pests and pesticide use while keeping farms, homes, schools, you-name-it, as healthy and safe as can be. Stories about bed bugs. Our organic vegetable guides. How to keep adaptable pests at bay — pests that become resistant to pesticides, including Bt corn. The huge impact a tiny, newly invasive pest can pose. How a new IPM app can provide ammo in the greenhouse bug wars: an app that brings together both pest and beneficial ID, beneficial application technology, and scouting records. And many more.
And then — take a look at our past annual reports as well.
Happy reading!
