Sp674-Getting Started With Ipm (Integrated Pest Management) In Child-Serving Facilities, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Environment (Indoor & Outdoor)
Many states are beginning to adopt integrated pest management (IPM) practices in schools and other child-serving facilities. UT Extension and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture have been promoting school IPM in Tennessee since 1996.
