About the New York State
Integrated Pest Management Program

The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program helps address your pest management needs, whether you are on the farm, at work or in school, at home, or in the community.

Our research, demonstrations, education, and outreach are part of a comprehensive plan to make IPM the safe, effective pest management solution for all of us who live or work in New York. These solutions help protect our health, our economic well-being, and our environment.

Focusing on both agricultural and community IPM offers us the opportunity to help strengthen the connection between you and the people who produce your food, and to draw attention to the fact that the need for pest management is universal, as are its risks.

We work with Cornell University faculty and programs, Cornell Cooperative Extension, growers, school staff and teachers, pest control operators, businesses, nonprofits, and state, local, and tribal governments. Support by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the Department of Environmental Conservation, as well as the many regional and federal grants we win, help to make all this possible.

There's something new almost daily for all of us who work in IPM: new pests, new pest management technologies, new policies... but with each new challenge comes opportunity.

We invite you to learn more about IPM -- and to use it in your daily life.
