Summary:
The objective of this proposal is to create a network of hop educators and researchers working in the Midwest and Eastern United States as well as Canada. These regions represent similar hop growing conditions that diverge substantially from the conditions in the major hop production regions of the Pacific Northwest. The lack of available information for emerging hop producing regions necessitates the development of a formal greater Great Lakes Region Hop Working Group (GLHWG) to support hop production. Members will include, but are not limited to the following institutions: Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, Ohio State University, Purdue University, University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois, University of Vermont, Cornell University, North Carolina State University, North Dakota State, Virginia Tech, Iowa State, and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAFRA). The GLHWG and key stakeholders will convene for a two-day conference that will focus on research and Extension reporting, resource sharing, needs prioritization, project development and funding efforts. The major goals of the GLHWG include; improved understanding of IPM-related issues across regions, increased collaboration between participants to address IPM-related, and increased adoption of IPM practices by hop producers. No formal projects are planned for the inaugural meeting but new projects are expected to develop based on the meeting.
Objectives: Objective 1. Support a NCIPM Great Lakes Hop Working Group to serve as a professional network for those serving producers in North Central and Northeastern North America by meeting virtually in-season to exchange pest management related information. Objective 2. Host GLHWG conference with key stakeholders that results in the sharing of research and outreach efforts and provides a platform for the development of collaborative hop-related resources. Objective 3. Develop a proposal for major funding from a federal agency for collaborative research to address pest management needs that cannot be addressed with existing resources or expertise. |
