Summary:
The Great Lakes Vegetable Working Group (GLVeg WG) benefits from a broad spectrum of expertise in specialized areas of vegetable IPM. The WG provides a forum for building research collaborations, diagnosing problems and providing IPM-based recommendations to growers, and assessing stakeholder needs. These functions are primarily achieved via an email listserv, webinars, and an annual meeting. The group has also established Twitter and Facebook accounts to deliver pest and management alerts to stakeholders. Recent accomplishments of the GLVeg WG include two 4.5 hour cucurbit and sweet corn IPM grower workshops and a "Season Extension IPM Mangagement Techniques" guide for vegetable production (available on-line in 2016). The continuation of this working group is vital to the continued collaboration of vegetable experts across the region. In this applicatin, we propose continuation of the listserve, Twitter, annual meeting, and the and a webinar series ("Emerging Issues and Technologies in Vegetable Production") targeted at commercial growers and early career IPM specialists.
Objectives: 1. Maintain a listserv for members to communicate pest and disease ID and IPM-based management advice across the Great Lakes region. 2. Maintain an online GLVeg Twitter feed and Facebook page that share real-time pest and IPM alerts 3. Coordinate an annual meeting for members in 2017 4. Develop a webinar series for vegetable production on "Emerging issues and technologies in vegetable production" 5. Develop written material to supplement the webinar series. |
