NIFA Invests $20M in Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM)

The Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) program addresses high priority issues related to pests (including insects, nematodes, pathogens, and weeds) and their management using IPM approaches at the state, regional and national levels. The CPPM program supports projects in three distinct areas — Applied Research and Development; Extension Implementation; and Regional Coordination — that will increase food production and respond effectively to other major societal challenges with comprehensive IPM approaches that are economically viable, ecologically prudent, and safe for human health.
