Summary: The Northern Plains IPM Guide Working Group serves as a voice to promote integrated pest management practices in the Northern Plains region. This is done by bringing together Agricultural Professionals in the Northern Plains Region to provide an IPM Guide as one stop resource for IPM information on field crops and urban and home pests and diseases identification and management. Currently the group has jointly developed several fact sheets on pests and diseases of row crops, and urban and home pests and diseases. The focus for this request will be further expansion of the online resource for our growers, crop consultants and agronomists. This working group will work together to publish corn diseases and wheat arthropod pests chapters. Provision of readily accessible information with diagnosis guides and management recommendation will lead to adoption of IPM practices, namely scouting and following thresholds. Practicing cultural management options that limit the reliance on pesticides and only applying pesticides when warranted.

Objectives: Compile and publish corn diseases chapter for the NPIPM Guide
Compile and publish wheat arthropod pests chapter for the NPIPM Guide
