The Interactive Plant Manager is a new online guide from the New York State Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program that helps you diagnose and deal with insect pests of ornamental trees and shrubs. Search from the homepage by pest name, plant name, signs, and symptoms to learn what’s eating your plant and what to do about it. The easy-to-read fact sheets include range maps, photos of pests and the damage they cause, and life-cycle charts to help you time least-toxic controls.

The Interactive Plant Manager focuses on the most common insects of New York and the Northeast. More insects, as well as tree and shrub diseases, will be added to the database later in 2008 and 2009.
