The University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension's Fruit IPM Program provides information to commercial growers of tree fruit, small fruit and grapes to help them manage pests through a sustainable, whole plant approach. Information is disseminated through fact sheets, grower meetings, email alerts, research and demonstrations, and one-on-one grower contacts. The Fruit IPM Program emphasizes plant nutrition, soil health, identification of beneficials and pests, scouting and monitoring tools, proper plant and site selection, preventative management strategies, pesticide selection and application, and pesticide resistance management.
