Title
Proactive Integrated Pest Management Solutions
Description
The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to develop integrated pest management (IPM) program(s) or pieces of IPM program(s) that can be rapidly implemented if a new invasive pest becomes established in California. The goal of CDFA’s Proactive IPM Solutions program is to anticipate which exotic pests are likely to arrive in the state and develop effective IPM strategies to manage these pests over the long-term. Strategies may include testing various low-risk chemicals, biopesticides, cultural control, life history analysis to determine vulnerable developmental stages, monitoring techniques for tracking pest populations, and testing of natural enemies that could be quickly deployed when these pests become established. Advanced knowledge of such pest management strategies will minimize disruption to California’s growers and urban communities.
