ABOUT THE COLLECTION

The Arizona Pest Management Center (APMC) maintains an Integrated Pest Management information network for the arid Southwest region, including Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and the desert regions of California. One role of this network is to provide evidence-based testimony to state, regional and federal partners, especially the US-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), on decisions impacting pest management in Arizona and the Desert Southwest. This expert testimony often involves pesticide use data from the APMC Pesticide Use Database and Crop Pest Losses surveys from our region, as well as input from growers, pest managers, Extension personnel and scientists from across the region we represent. These efforts are supported by a Signature Program of the Western IPM Center and through a series of Specialty Crop Block Grants from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
