The Clemson IPM program focuses on the development of interdisciplinary, research-based information, and provides it to our stakeholders through extension and outreach. Fourteen Clemson faculty with extension appointments are involved in the program across several priority areas and commodities, including field and forage crops, vegetable crops, turfgrass, ornamental crops, fruit crops, and pollinator health. The Clemson IPM newsletter provides timely updates throughout production cycles for stakeholders with information on pest management and on-going research. The Clemson IPM program is supported by the USDA NIFA Crop Protection and Pest Management Extension Implementation Program.
