The Oregon IPM Center aims to achieve economically sustainable pest management for Oregon and the Pacific Northwest with reduced risks to human health and the environment. Our tools and projects help pest growers adapt to an increasingly uncertain world through high impact science and education partnerships. We also promote and support integrated pest management in non-agricultural sectors, such as urban and structural IPM, school IPM, and collaborations with Oregon's natural resource and infrastructure agencies.
Oregon IPM Center is based around three main program areas:
VegNet is part of Oregon State University’s effort to foster sustainable food and farming programs. We monitor for insect pests and produce weekly activity reports that can be combined with field sampling to estimate pest pressure and make informed decisions about pest management priorities.
