UC IPM Tools are Back Online!

Last month, we shared on our blog that UC IPM's website was undergoing changes to redesign and update the content to improve not only the overall look, but accessibility for those with disabilities to be in compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).   

We also reported that certain online content would become unavailable after May 12, 2026, until it could be converted to comply with ADA standards. We have some good news for many of our readers: due to a federal extension granting organizations more time to meet the new requirements, the accessibility compliance deadline has been moved to April 24, 2027. 

The image shows an interface from the UC IPM Plant Problem Diagnostic tool. The page includes a header with navigation links. The section is labeled "Select plant names" and displays a grid of plant images with their corresponding names. Each image includes a plant name underneath and an option to "Add to my list" with a magnifying glass icon for more details. To the left, there’s a navigation panel with options labeled Plant Types, Plant Names, Plant Parts, and Damage.
The Plant Pest Diagnostic Tool can help you find out what’s wrong with unhealthy-looking plants in the landscape or garden based on the damage observed.

The Urban & Community IPM team is committed to providing high-quality, accessible pest management information and resources for all Californians. We appreciate your patience while we continue to implement these changes and make improvements!
