Abstract
The Third National IPM Symposium/Workshop took place in Washington, DC, from February
27 through March 1, 1996. More than 600 participants from around the country attended the
symposium/workshop reflecting a wide spectrum ofprofessional interests including scientists
(social, biological, and environmental), agricultural producers, and representatives of
agribusiness and non-profit organizations. Two dominant themes provided a unifying focus.
USDA
"Putting Customers First" focused on reaching out to the diverse customer base of
programs to identify IPM research and implementation needs. "Assessing IPM Program Impacts"
addressed how to incorporate economic, environmental, and public health assessment in IPM
research and extension activities. Other topics covered included analytical and data needs for
pest-management programs, policies for promoting biological and reduced risk alternatives, and
overcoming barriers to increased adoption ofIPM practices and technologies.
Keywords: Integrated pest management (IPM), economic assessment, environmental impact
evaluation, public health assessment, pesticide policy, biological and reduced risk alternatives.
