The Northeast Vegetable IPM Working Group, funded by the Northeastern IPM Center, offers IPM Travel Grants that will pay up to $800 for qualified expenses to help agricultural professionals in the Northeast learn about and share integrated pest management practices in vegetables and strawberries.

The application process is simple.
