Summary:
The Northern Plains IPM Guide working group seeks to bring together Agricultural Professionals in the Northern Plains Region to provide an IPM Guide as one stop resource for IPM information on field crops and urban and home pests and diseases identification and management. The new leadership of this working group will expand the plant pathology focus while also maintaining current content on entomology chapters. This working group will build on already achieved success of four chapters (Soybean entomology, Soybean diseases, Corn entomology, and Urban entomology) available online (http://wiki.bugwood.org/NPIPM ) and on mobile App by adding wheat diseases chapter. Wheat accounts for a larger proportion of acreage in the region that receives fungicides annually. Availability of information on disease identification and management options that emphasize use of IPM may lessen overreliance on pesticides and chances of pesticide resistance developing. We will recruit new members with expertise in wheat pathology to join the group as well as coordinating and promoting the Northern Plains IPM Guide amongst the existing members. Increased access to IPM information on the Northern Plains IPM Guide online and on the mobile App as indicated by traffic to these sites will be the measure of success of this working group.
Objectives: 1- Continue to develop the Northern Plains IPM Guide by compiling and publishing a wheat diseases chapter 2-Promote the Northern Plains IPM Guide to stakeholders and colleagues in the region |
