Our Mission

To develop and implement a program of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for arthropods attacking crops in southern Oregon with special emphasis on tree fruit. The goal of this research is to develop ecologically sound pest management strategies and tactics and, in conjunction with the Extension Service, to introduce and demonstrate these management tools and techniques to growers and field managers.
