Building on the principal investigator\u2019s prior laboratory and field research on cotton seed bug biology and ecology, this new effort will shift toward applied, field scale evaluations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Upon completion, the project will deliver the foundational IPM components needed by California cotton growers to manage this pest proactively and sustainably.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The goal of the Adaptive IPM for Invasive Agricultural Pests <strong><\/strong>Program is to develop IPM program(s) or components that can be rapidly implemented when new invasive agricultural pests arrive and become established in California or when recently arrived invasive pests resurge or expand their range or host species. The program also supports research to refine and optimize existing IPM strategies to improve their effectiveness or exploring additional control measures against established invasive agricultural pests that drive extensive pesticide use but remain uncontrolled due to developed pesticide resistance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Funding for this grant program is from an on-going general fund appropriation. This program funds one award per year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Detailed information on this program, including the application process and application requirements, is available at:\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/oars\/opca\/adaptive-ipm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/oars\/opca\/adaptive-ipm.html<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">&nbsp;<br>Information on the Office of Pesticide Consultation and Analysis is available at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/oars\/opca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/oars\/opca\/<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has awarded $500,000 in funding through the Adaptive IPM for Invasive Agricultural Pests grant program to Dr. Mark Hoddle for a three-year project titled \u201cProactive Development of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/index.php\/2026\/11\/03\/cdfa-awards-500000-through-adaptive-ipm-for-invasive-agricultural-pests-grant-program\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[977],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sustainable-pest-management"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
