Summary:
As a continuing Great Lakes Vegetable Working Group (GLVWG), we greatly value our opportunities to meet in person to collaborate on projects and share updates and lessons from our regions. Therefore, we propose another meeting on February 27-28, 2018, in Grand Rapids, MI. At this meeting, our international membership will provide a full day and one half day of research and extension stories to bring back to our respective regions. The outcomes of this meeting are to continue to develop professional extension workers to help professional vegetable growers, establish the 2019 GLVWG leaders and roles, introduce a new listserv and web workspace, and to collaborate on a new Integrated Pest Management web application.
Many of the states in our Working Group are collaborators on the Midwest Vegetable Production Guide. Both editors, and clientele have expressed interest in an improved digital platform of this guide. Therefore, we aim to create an interactive database for Midwest and Great Lakes vegetable growers to support science-based pesticide use decisions with objective recommendations for safety, legality, and efficacy. The online database and search tool will contain an annually updated list of registered pesticides and cultural recommendations from the Midwest Vegetable Production Guide, with timely inclusions of emergency Section 18 labels, and 24(c) special local needs labels as they are approved. The data framework will be designed to display the information online in a format that is friendly to all devices and computers, and also to output a typeset document for the printed guide. Objectives: 1. A meeting of the minds fuels creativity and collaboration for educators, specialists, postdocs, and students working in the vegetable industry. 2. A new listserv that is less work to manage, and a shared web workspace will foster institutional memory and enable more connected collaboration. 3. An IPM web application that allows a user to explore chemical and cultural controls across vegetable crops will improve IPM adoption by making pesticide labels easier to compare. |
