Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey Program
There have been several changes made to the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey program from fiscal year 2007. The CAPS program is shifting its strategy from being “pest-specific”, to surveying for several pests on a “commodity” basis. APHIS believes the commodity/ecosystem approach will provide a more holistic framework for planning, preparedness, response and recovery from invasive pests of regulatory significance. Priority pests for both the National survey and State-level discretionary surveys have been identified.
