The CIMSPIP is a multi-authored and multi-state project funded in 2000 by the USDA under the Risk Assessment and Mitigation Program.  The proposed program objectives will be completed by 2005. The overall goal of the project is to develop technologies for stored product insect management that rely on alternatives to organophosphate pesticides and the fumigants methyl bromide and phosphine.

CIMSPIP is a collaborative effort

Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, is the lead institution for this project.  Other institutions involved include the USDA's Grain Marketing and Production Research Center, Manhattan, KS; Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK; and Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN.  Leading US experts in various aspects of stored-product entomology, mycology, agricultural engineering, and extension are involved in this 5-year project.  This web site will be an invaluable source for research and extension information originating from work proposed under the CIMSPIP.
