IPMnet NEWS Issue #126, http://www.ipmnet.org 

A recently evolved information tool available to parties interested in IPM developments in any one of the 50 U.S. states is an interactive listing of state IPM homepages. A mouse click on the map at http://www.ipmcenters.org/producers/homepages/state.html promptly brings up that state's current site for IPM information. 

While many states have a dedicated IPM homepage or site--some are quite expansive and graphically appealing, some less detailed and visually enhanced--others have opted for variants and alternative approaches to addressing IPM. A few states have yet to designate or record an official IPM site, even though the state may well be engaged in extensive IPM activity.

Staff at the NSF Center for Integrated Pest Management, based at North Carolina State Univ., engineered the U.S. national IPM site and its expanding array of linkages, utilizing sponsorship of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service.
