  2. Status of Project • History of project-Cherry Lake, IFAS, IPM Institute of North America, EPA (11/07/02) • Market-driven- Customers for IPM plants • Voluntary- Market niche, reduced risk • Working Group- Growers, IFAS, IPM Institute, EPA, DACS, FNGA, Others • Timetable- Two years (see grant proposal) • Florida Application- Region, Nation

  3. Objectives of the Project To create a measurable increase in the number of producers of woody ornamentals using reduced risk practices and products by creating a credible IPM certification program • Create a multi-stakeholder working group to provide oversight and direction • Draft general, region-specific guidelines or standards • Draft quantitative evaluation criteria specific to woody ornamentals in Florida • Provide incentives for use of reduced-risk options • Train independent inspectors to evaluate applicants • Create educational materials to inform consumers about IPM and the accomplishments of certified producers
