DAVIS, Calif. -- For every season, the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program offers year-round IPM programs to manage pests in 16 crops. One of those crops is cotton.

Annual checklists promote pest management activities that are important during each crop season and integrate the management of many pests within that time period. The checklists are designed to be used with the UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines that provide "how to" details for carrying out the activities.

Also supporting the year-round IPM programs are detailed monitoring instructions and record-keeping forms, pest identification pages, and photos of weed seedlings. The year-round programs and the pest management guidelines may be found under the agriculture and floriculture section of the UC IPM Web site at http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG. For cotton, see http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/selectnewpest.cotton.html.
