Grant Description

The Methyl Bromide Transitions Program (MBT) supports the discovery and implementation of practical pest management alternatives for commodities affected by the phase-out of methyl bromide. Projects supported by MBT will focus on short- to intermediate-term solutions for all commodities at risk using presently available or newly developed pest management technologies and practices. Since alternatives to methyl bromide that have thus far been developed require different pest management strategies than those used for methyl bromide alone, projects supported by MBT will emphasize the development and implementation of integrated management approaches. This includes increased research, education and extension activities on all commodities at risk, involving field trials and other demonstration projects that enhance the adoption of pest management alternatives for affected commodities.

This grant is available for short to intermediate-term projects. In 2004, $2.4 million was available.
