Summary:
The Pulse Crops Working Group (PCWG) has been successful in the past at producing relevant outputs and outcomes in advancing IPM objectives for pulse crops. The definition of a pulse crop varies across the world, but we have focused on the main pulse crops produced in the US, field peas, lentils, chickpeas and dry edible beans. The overall objective of the PCWG is creating and disseminating IPM-related materials to producers and other industry stakeholders. Some of our most recent outputs include the production of field pea and dry bean (currently in print) disease diagnostic cards. The field pea cards were completed earlier this year and a total of 800 cards were printed. After dissemination in ND, SD, NE, WA and MT only about 200 cards remain, and many of these are reserved for winter grower meetings. The PCWG will continue the process of revising the Compendium of Field Pea Diseases and Pests published by APS Press. The Compendium serves as a resource to all in the industry and is horribly outdated. This document is often the first resource when growers, agronomists and others in the industry are making a diagnosis; the first step in formulating as IPM-based management system. This will serve as a great benefit to the field pea industry. The PCWG has traditionally focused on pathology; however, this year, the group has incorporated a specific entomological objective based on the needs of the industry. The incorporation of insect pests will greatly enhance the impact of the PCWG.
Objectives: The specific objectives are to: 1) Hold two Pulse Crops Working Group meetings; communicate via Wiggio and conference calls; 2) Continue the planning and execution needed to develop the 3rd edition of the ‘Compendium of Pea Diseases’; and 3) produce ‘field-grade’ pulse insect identification cards. |
