The Plant
Management Network (PMN), an innovative website designed
exclusively for plant and agricultural professionals, is pleased
to announce its new partnership with
CropLife America.
PMN
publishes four science-based applied journals—Applied Turfgrass
Science, Crop Management, Plant
Health Progress, and Forage and Grazinglands—an image database,
three field trials publications, a plant
science database of more than 4,000 fact sheets and other
web-based resources, and a monthly newsletter.
PMN also offers continuing education units to Certified Crop
Advisers through its education and training
center.
“We’re pleased to be joining the Plant Management Network and to
support the Network’s extensive, science-based resources for
agriculture practitioners, educators and stakeholders,” said Jay
J. Vroom, president and CEO of CropLife America. “This type of
practical, one-stop resource is vitally important to our
CropLife members and to those making agronomic recommendations
to manage crop and horticultural pests,” Vroom said.
As a PMN
partner, CropLife America joins some of the most respected
organizations in the crop and plant science community in their
goal of providing science-based information in agriculture.
Other PMN partners include scientific organizations such as: The
American Phytopathological Society, American Society of
Agronomy, Canadian Society of Agronomy, CAST, Crop Adviser
Institute, Crop Science Society of America, Entomological
Society of America, National Alliance of Independent Crop
Consultants, NCSRP Plant Health Initiative, Potash & Phosphate
Institute, and the Weed Science Society of America. Industry

Pioneer Hi-Bred, and Syngenta Crop Protection. PMN’s partners
also include a growing list of 20 U.S. state land-grant
university colleges of agriculture.
