Question Integrated Pest Management (IPM) adopters apply significantly less… Integrated Pest Management (IPM) adopters apply significantly less insecticides and fungicides than nonadopters among grape producers. The paper “Environmental and Economic Consequences of Technology Adoption: IPM in Viticulture” [Agricultural Economics (2008) 18:145-155] contained the following adoption rates for the six states that account for most of the U.S. production. A survey of 712 grape-producing growers asked whether or not the growers were using an IPM program on the farms.                                                    State                                             Cal.  Mich.   New York   Oregon  Penn.   Wash.   Total IPM adopted                    39       55            19                22         24          30      189 IPM not adopted            92      69            114              88          83         77     523 Total                                  131    124         133             110        107       107   712Provide a graphical display of the data. Is there significant evidence that the proportions of grape farmers who have adopted IPM are different across the six states.
