Funded Project

Funding Program: Working Groups

Project Title: Pulse Crops Working Group

Project Director (PD): Julie Pasche [1]

Lead State: ND Lead Organization: North Dakota State University

Cooperating State(s): Alabama

Undesignated Funding: $19,846

Start Date: Mar-01-2016 End Date: Feb-28-2017

Pests Involved: Diseases

Site/Commodity: Pulse Crops

Area of Emphasis: Pulse Crops Pathology IPM materials

Summary: North Dakota is among the most important pulse producing states and South Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska have observed increasing pulse crops acres in recent years. Pulse crop production is limited by many diseases from root rots to foliar leaf spots and viruses. However, extension and research scientists dedicated to pulse crop pathology in the north central region are limited. While pathologists from Nebraska, North and South Dakota have responsibility for pulse crops, all have responsibility for other crops as well. This makes collaboration a key for progress. The objectives of this proposal include 1) Hold two Pulse Crop Working Group meetings; communicate via Wiggio and conference calls; 2) Form a strategic planning committee to develop a proposal to the American Phytopathological Society (APS) to write the 3rd edition of the Compendium of Pea Diseases. These objectives align with NCIPMC mission by addressing needs and providing outputs pertinent to stakeholders. Evaluation scores from the first annual meeting of the PCWG in March 2015 were 3.6 for presentation usefulness and 3.7 for share and use of information on a 1 to 4 scale, and most participants indicated that they would like to continue meeting annually. Pea disease diagnostic cards proposed as an objective in 2015 have been edited and returned to authors for final comments before formatting and printing. APS approached the PCWG to revise the Compendium of Pea Diseases. APS has indicated Disease Compendiums should be revised every 10 years; the 2nd edition of the Pea Compendium was published in 2001. Objectives: 1) Hold two Pulse Crop Working Group meetings; communicate via Wiggio and conference calls; 2) Form a strategic planning committee to develop a proposal to the American Phytopathological Society (APS) to write the 3rd edition of the Compendium of Pea Diseases.
