Summary:
Peas and lentils have become essential to economic crop sustainability in semi-arid regions of the Northern Great Plains, evidenced by exponential acreage increases. Due to this success, growers in South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming are beginning to plant pulse crops. Both new and experienced growers face disease and insect pest management challenges. The Pulse Crops Working Group (PCWG) is well poised to address pest threats to pulse crop production. Since 2013, we have published a diagnostic guide on Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi causing Fusarium root rot on field pea, field durable Pea and Bean Disease Diagnostic cards and work on Pulse Crop Insect Diagnostic cards is almost complete. Since the last proposal, the PCWG members have been awarded 14 collaborative grants totaling $749,749, published 4 refereed and 5 extension/trade articles. The Pea Disease Diagnostic cards have been met with great enthusiasm; 90% of responding growers indicated their ability to identify diseases improved as a result of using the cards and 100% of growers surveyed indicated they would benefit from lentil disease diagnostic cards. Our objectives for FY2018 are to; continue to foster collaborative relationships in the pulse industry to better organize and develop IPM solutions for growers through face-to-face meetings and virtual interaction on our Basecamp site; continue work on the Pea Compendium with the goal of publishing in 2020 and; increase the ability of growers, consultants and others in the industry to better identify foliar and root diseases through the production of Lentil Disease Diagnostic cards.
Objectives: 1) foster collaborative relationships among researchers, extension professionals, growers and industry through face-to-face meetings and virtual interaction on our Basecamp site; 2) provide a comprehensive resource on pea diseases and pests to growers and scientists; 3) increase the ability of growers, crops consultants and other stakeholders in the lentil industry to identify lentil foliar and root diseases. |
