The AKIPM Program addresses the public need for pest management education in Alaska. Offering non-biased, research based information, this resource is widely used by residents across the state. Integrated Pest Management: Adhering to the principles of the IPM Road Map, this program supports a least toxic, most effective, economically sound, and environmentally responsible approach to pest control by offering clientele a wide range of pest management alternatives. The Alaska IPM (AKIPM) program operates with a faculty oversight committee, two full time staff members and eight seasonal IPM Technicians, placed within strategic urban and rural centers, statewide. These combined staff form an experienced and talented AKIPM team responsive to a diverse public, which includes urban and rural residents, educators, youth groups, community agencies, agricultural and horticultural producers, garden clubs and the green industry. This AKIPM team raises the pest management awareness level of more than 14,000 Alaskans and tourists, annually. Services Provided • Evaluation and diagnosis of plant disorders. • Site visits to examine tree health disorders in the field. • Identification of insect, plant and disease specimens. • Researching information about pest biology & lifecycles. • Recommendation of IPM control options to reduce pest problems. The AKIPM team also serves as proactive, first detectors through the performance of daily monitoring, trapping and educational outreach to help prevent destructive, imported pests from becoming established in Alaska’s forests, woodlots, agricultural fields, home gardens and greenhouses. This work facilitates early detection and rapid response, helping to safeguard Alaska’s natural resources. This unique statewide IPM program is a cooperatively funded effort, combining the resources of UAF-CES, the USDA Forest Service Region 10 Forest Health Protection and the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES), with additional contributions from the State of Alaska Division of Agriculture and the USDA Western Plant Diagnostic Network.
