Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program: Integrated Pest Management: Methyl Bromide Transitions Program

The goal of the Methyl Bromide Transitions (MBT) program is to support the discovery and implementation of practical pest management alternatives to methyl bromide uses or minimize methyl bromide emissions for which the United States is requesting critical use exemptions. The program seeks to ensure that economically viable and environmentally sound alternatives to methyl bromide are in place and available as soon as possible for the current 2011 Critical Use Nominations. The program is focused on integrated commercial or field scale research that targets short- to medium-term solutions that will develop new alternatives, result in registration and adoption of new alternatives, and/or minimize methyl bromide emissions.
