CSREES budget has good and bad news. For IPM, mostly bad.
The overall CSREES budget - appears to be fairly stable. But budget lines enacted for FY2003 show roughly 10-11% cuts for most programs
(including across the board 0.59% rescission). These include:
- Regional IPM Grants
- PMAP
- IR-4
- IPM Centers
- Smith-Lever 3(d) IPM
- Crops at Risk (CAR)
- Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Program (RAMP)
- Methyl Bromide Alternatives
