No 314651, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: This report is a reference work. It is written mainly for those individuals who may help organize a program in integrated pest management (IPM). It should help farmers and managers who are either organizing a new cooperative or starting IPM within an existing cooperative. Also, it should provide a benchmark for measuring future developments. Two grower-owned organizations’ IPM programs were selected for this report. Both serve cotton farmers because the concept has progressed furthest in cotton. Data were obtained through personal interviews with the management and patrons of these two organizations. Additional information was obtained by telephone, correspondence, and a study of company documents and publications. Background information was developed from literature, meetings, and interviews with practitioners in integrated pest management.
