If any of your programs, activities, or interests--or
those of colleagues--relate to IPM, and you (they) haven't =
taken advantage of IPMnet and free, direct electronic =
delivery of the monthly IPMnet NEWS, access to IPMnet's =
Web site, and links to useful IPM information such as =
the expanding Directory of IPM Resources... then this
short message could be of interest and use. (If you're
already linked to IPMnet, have received this message pre-
viously, or have no interest in Integrated Pest Manage-
ment, accept our apologies and excuse/ignore this post.)

IPMnet NEWS, now in its fourth year of service, is purpose-designed =
to
provide very brief, timely, balanced, worldwide "news-you-can-use" to =
all concerned with: IPM development, research, implementation, adoption, =
policy, and impact. IPMnet itself now links more than 1,800 recipients in=
=
86 nations. In fact, network participants create the substance that has =
helped IPMnet emerge as a major informative and cooperative global commun=
-
ication conduit for IPM--and all the involved disciplines and professions=
=2E
IPMnet is sponsored by the not-for-profit Consortium for Internation=
al
Crop Protection (CICP), a pioneer in international implementation of envi=
-
ronmentally responsible pest management. The Consortium comprises 10 U.S.=
=
land grant universities, the Univ. of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Dept. of =
Agriculture. While these institutions are predominantly located in the =
U.S., IPMnet's charter clearly emphasizes an international focus.
Can IPMnet's free resources be of service to you or your colleagues?=
=
