Virginia Specialty Crops at Risk Program (SCARP)

We are actively involved in the collection, analysis, reporting, and distribution of data on the use of pesticides in Virginia. We focus most of our efforts on establishing the importance of various pest management strategies to Virginia agriculture. We are actively developing crop pest management profiles, pest management strategic plans, and IPM Elements documents to support the continued availability of viable pest management tools for agriculture and specialty uses.

 

SCARP is funded by the Southern IPM Center and supports the USDA - Office of Pest Management Policy. A previous name for the program was Virginia Pest Management Information Program and it was originally part of the National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program (PIAP) established in 1977 to collect pesticide benefit use data for EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs. PIAP was a joint effort of USDA and the state Land-Grant University - Agricultural Experiment Stations and Cooperative Extension Services.

The Southern IPM Center was formed at North Carolina State University in 2003. VTPP serves as the primary state contact program for the Center in Virginia. This web page and the Virginia Specialty Crops at Risk Program (SCARP) are supported, in part, with funding from the Center. A major program is the "State Contact Project (SCP)" for Virginia. The objectives, an abstract, and contact information for this and other projects can be found on the IPM Center's project database (select Virginia under the states to see our projects). Specific contact information for the project director is available through the "About Us" link at the top of this page.
