Office of Plant Industry Services staff members collect and manage data on plant pests of concern to Virginia. The majority of surveys target pests not known to occur in Virginia and include insects, weeds and plant diseases. Much of the work is carried out in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant and Health Inspection Service and Virginia Cooperative Extension. The Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) Program provides national and regional coordination and funding.
