Summary:
The Crop Protection Network (CPN) was created to serve as infrastructure for field crop Extension outputs from diverse collaborators in the North Central Region and beyond. The CPN is a regional network of land-grant universities in the United States, and closely related organizations in Canada. The CPN has primarily involved plant pathologists and focused on field crop disease outputs. Because successful crop protection and production involves much more than disease management, we have started to involve scientists from other disciplines such as entomology, weed science, and agronomy, as well as more scientists and Extension specialists in plant pathology. Outputs from the CPN thus far include 29 publications in the form of Extension bulletins and scouting guides on a variety of crop protection-related topics, with more in development. The focus of this Working Group proposal is to expand the CPN by continuing to recruit scientists from other disciplines, increase outreach through improved web presence, and engage with scientific societies, IPM centers, and regulatory entities to discuss partnerships. Expansion of the CPN provides a “stage” where knowledge sharing or collaboration in extension efforts can be introduced, considered, or facilitated, and then leveraged across multiple crop-growing regions. This project directly benefits the North Central region by providing current and timely Extension material to aid in identification and management of existing and emerging problems, and provides information on issues lacking Extension information.
Objectives: Objective 1: Increase participation by Extension specialists, administrative units and industry in the Crop Protection Network Objective 2: Engage scientific societies, IPM Centers and regulatory entities in discussions to partner on CPN outputs |
