Summary:
The American Society of Agronomy (ASA) and IPM Institute of North America propose to continue our IPM and Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) working group to provide continuing-education articles for the ASA’s Crops & Soils magazine, with the goal of improving IPM knowledge, skills and abilities of certified crop advisors (CCA) working in agronomic crops in the North Central region. The ASA continues to receive requests for current and cutting-edge IPM information and resources to include in their publication. Our articles will provide information on IPM practices to the magazine’s readership of 13,000 CCAs, as well as 3,000 additional members of ASA. These resources will improve CCA’s the ability to assist agricultural producers facing new and emerging pest-management challenges in the North Central region. Our proposal addresses priorities identified by the North Central IPM Center and National IPM Roadmap by increasing adoption, information exchange and knowledge sharing of IPM practices through the collaboration of scientific and extension communities. In press for the winter 2016/2017 issues are our recently completed article on the new Worker Protection Standards. Our goal is to develop an additional four articles and a webinar covering topics such as the role of IPM in plant incorporated protectants in agronomic crops, herbicide-resistance management, and to the role of pollinator conservation in pest management.
Objectives: 1. Improve IPM knowledge, skills and abilities of CCAs working in agronomic crops in the North Central Region and nationally by producing three CEU articles on IPM for existing CCAs. 2. Develop one CEU webinar to improve IPM knowledge, skills and abilities of CCAs working in agronomic crops in the North Central Region. 3. Improve communication and sharing of IPM knowledge across a range of diverse experts including Extension specialists, top-tier consultants, industry and regulatory representatives using IPM to solve new and emerging pest-management challenges. |
