Crop Profiles

Crop Profiles

Crop profiles are snapshots of crop production practices for agricultural commodities. Usually produced on a state-by-state basis, crop profiles provide agricultural statistics for the crop; information on regions within the state; an inventory of pests and strategies used for their management (e.g., cultural practices, biological control, and pesticides); and lists of key contacts, references, and online resources. Crop profiles are considered living documents, so as the pest management situation changes, older crop profiles are revised and updated versions made available.

Elements

Elements

IPM Guidelines (also known as IPM Checklists, Elements, Protocols, Definitions, and Standards) are best management practices for specific crops, developed in cooperation primarily with growers, university Extension specialists, and IPM consultants. These guidelines are used by various programs to qualify or certify that a grower or IPM practitioner is using accepted IPM practices. IPM Guidelines have been evaluated for their practicality and are often assigned points based on their importance to IPM and the level of difficulty required to implement. While these guidelines represent the best management options currently available, they evolve as new IPM technologies are developed. To learn how guidelines are created, see the IPM Institute’s Guide to IPM Elements and Guidelines.

Handbooks

Handbooks

Handbooks represent joint efforts among specialists and researchers from land-grant univiersities that represent a wide array of disciplines such as agricultural engineering, entomology, plant pathology, and soil and weed science.  The handbook is designed to provide growers with a guide to the latest information on crop cultivars, cultural practices, and pest management tools.  The labels for the specific active ingredients take precedence over the recommendations found in the handbooks.

Pest Management Strategic Plans

Pest Management Strategic Plans

Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs) address pest management needs and priorities for individual commodities in a particular state or region. The plans take a pest-by-pest approach to identifying the current management practices (chemical and nonchemical) and those under development.

PMSPs are developed by growers, commodity associations, land-grant university specialists, food processors, crop consultants, and the EPA. Plans include priorities for research, regulatory activity, and education/training programs needed for transition to alternative pest management practices.

Timelines

Timelines

Timelines give a general overview of crop production, worker activities, and key pests in crops. The timeline is intended to describe the activities and their relationship to pesticide applications which take place throughout the year to be used in worker risk assessments, and where risks of concern are identified, in the assessment of pesticide benefits. The timing of events described may vary due to such factors as the geography, climate, and weather. Pesticide use information is current as of the last update.

Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs) include Timelines, as well.
