Welcome to the Pacific Northwest Nursery IPM Website

This website has been established to provide educational materials and links for the identification and management of pests in commercial nursery production in the Pacific Northwest.

The PNW Nursery IPM Website is designed to be dynamic, allowing growers and pest management professionals to give and receive information regarding pest activities in nurseries in the Pacific Northwest. For more information on how this works, click on the Intro section of the website. The email Alert system is a free service sending out pest management information with regional, national, and international pest information pertinent to nursery production.
