The Iowa State University Extension Pest Management and the Environment (PME) program was organized when several extension programs merged. Today, PME is responsible for Pesticide Applicator Training (PAT), Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and Iowa efforts in the North Central Integrated Pest Management Center as well as other related environmental programs. Members of the PME team have expertise in entomology, soil science, weed science, organic agriculture, agronomy, agricultural education, urban forestry, horticulture, marketing, and communications technology. PME works with field and campus specialists and county extension staff to deliver programs and information.
The Integrated Crop Management Newsletter offers current crop production information.
