School IPM Inside and Out
The Arizona "School IPM Inside and Out" Extension program is run by the Community IPM leadership team. This is a multi-disciplinary group with expertise in diverse fields relevant to implementation of sustainable IPM programs. This unique program aims at providing school districts with a "one-stop expert advice system" to establish sustainable IPM programs covering indoor and outdoor school environments; an approach which is widely appreciated by stakeholders. For more information contact Shaku Nair.

Cross-commodity Research & Outreach Program (CROP).
The CRThe CROP working group addresses the need for timely communication of scientific information that spans across both crops and disciplines. Our goal is to anticipate and proactively resolve the problems unique to cross-commodity interactions by engaging agricultural stakeholders to identify and discuss key issues and to provide input on research and education needs. For more information contact Al Fournier.

Integrated Crop Management Team (Team)
The Cotton Team is now the Integrated Crop Management Team. The goal of the team is to facilitate statewide communication and program planning for agricultural research and outreach. For more information contact Al Fournier.

Program Evaluation Working Group
The program Evaluation Research and Support (PERS) Working Group is made up of UA faculty who have an interest in developing resources and support for effective program planning and evaluation. Our goal is to develop and share resources, provide educational opportunities for faculty and to boost awareness and support for program evaluation efforts in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. For more information contact Al Fournier.

Soil Fumigant Education Team
This working group is developing education materials and trainings to teach fumigant applicators about new EPA requirements. For more information contact Randy Norton.

Statewide Noxious & Invasive Plant Working Group
The purpose of this working group is to improve communication among entities, such as Weed Management Areas, for sharing of pertinent information, research findings and educational strategies. For more information contact Larry Howery.

Stop School Pests Project
The Stop School Pests project, funded by EPA, is initiated to address the need for a recognized, standardized, peer-reviewed national IPM training program for school communities. The program is a collaborative effort that includes extension, university, government, private and non-profit organizations and individuals. For more information contact Dawn Gouge

“Prospective” Resistance Management Project Team
The project team, funded through a USDA ARDP grant, will pro-actively address significant threats of whitefly resistance by developing spatial chemical use maps, delivered through outreach, to inform and evaluate pest manager insecticide use decisions, and will test spatial hypotheses about the relationship of prior chemical use to development of resistance in whiteflies.

Handbook on Pests of Community Environments in the Desert Southwest United States
This publication was developed through a grant from the Western Region IPM Center, and is available on the Arizona Pest Management Center website. It covers all major arthropod, vertebrate and weed pests encountered in community environments in the desert southwestern United States, and will serve as a handy reference guide to support community IPM efforts in this region. For more information contact Shaku Nair.

Arid Southwest IPM Network
The Arid Southwest IPM (ASIPM) Network is a multi-state, multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary Information Network sponsored by the Western IPM Center. The ASIPM Network was created to enhance pest management communication and cooperation among partner organizations, centered in the low desert region of the Southwest. Partners include the University of Arizona, the University of California (Riverside), University of Nevada (Reno), New Mexico State University and the Western IPM Center. For more information contact Al Fournier

Crop Pest Losses and Impact Assessment Signature Program
The Crop Pest Losses and Impact Assessment Signature Program of the Western IPM Center facilitates the collection of “real world” data on the costs and impacts of insect, weed and disease pests of key crops in the West. These data are vital to the agricultural industry. Quantifiable measurements of pesticide use, costs, pests, and yield and quality losses due to pests are our most objective tools for assessing IPM impacts in agriculture. Our tools, developed for cotton, lettuce and melons and implemented in the low deserts of Arizona and Imperial Valley California, are available for modification to engage stakeholders in other major crops of the West. For more information contact Al Fournier.

Mexicali Cotton IPM Project
This EPA-funded project is part of pollution prevention efforts along the U.S.-Mexican Border. The program is designed to help Mexican growers improve their integrated pest management programs in cotton in the Mexicali and San Luis Valley areas through an Extension program that includes field trainings, Spanish-language publications and other communications, other education, and grower-cooperator field research and demonstrations. The project is guided by an advisory committee made up of local entomologists, growers and industry representatives. Information regarding this Mexicali - San Luis Valleys Cotton IPM Project is within the guidelines of the Border 2012 Program funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and administered by BECC. For more information contact Peter Ellsworth.

SE Arizona - SW New Mexico Noxious Weeds Working Group
The Southeast Arizona - Southwest New Mexico Noxious Weeds Working Group was organized to identify stakeholder needs and solicit input on the development of a strategic plan to address noxious weeds issues in southeaster Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. For more information contact Kim McReynolds.

IPM for Sensitive Sites in the Built Environment - Western Region Work Group
IPM for Sensitive Sites in the Built Environment - Western Region Work Group was formed to provide a focal point for interactive communication and collaboration of community IPM stakeholders and change agents throughout the Western Region. Members include state, territory and tribal representatives, university, industry, advocacy organization, and federal agency groups. For more information please contact Dawn Gouge.
