Plant Management Network
Ecologicall-Based Invasive Plant Management
(EBIPM) is a framework providing land managers guidelines to make the best
management decisions for a given landscape based on ecological principles.
Through a step-by-step process, it focuses on getting to the roots of the
problem rather than merely covering up the symptoms of invasive annual grasses
and other invasive species. By addressing the causes of invasive plant
infestations, EBIPM offers solutions to achieve healthy sustainable rangeland. The
National Plant Materials Manual (NPMM), Third Edition June 2000 was
distributed to Plant Material Centers, Plant Material Specialists, State
Offices and Regional Offices in December 2000. You may download a copy
of the PDF file or contact the National Plant Materials Center (301)
504-8175 if you prefer a paper copy (limited quantities available).
