Use of principles and concepts of IPM to focus on real-life, practical applications of IPM programs. Builds on EPP 530/PLS 530: Integrated Pest Management [IPM]), where students are introduced to principles and concepts of pest and plant disease management and investigate its importance as an environmentally sound practice based on economic, ecological and sociological consequences. EPP 630 extends these concepts to focus on real-life, practical applications of IPM programs. Will have a seminar-type format with presentations, guest lecturers, and field trips to both regulatory centers and businesses that have implemented IPM programs.
