Summary:
The objective of this proposal is to continue to connect and expand the network of hop educators and researchers working in the Midwest and Eastern U.S. as well as Canada. These regions represent similar growing conditions that differ significantly from those in the primary production region in the Pacific Northwest. Current members include 66 representatives from twelve Universities and the Ontario Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs. The working group supports improved information exchange, knowledge sharing, and resource development that impacts growers in the region and beyond through a series meetings. The group also works to improve grower access to hop IPM education and resources with a special project to expand an on-line course developed in 2018. Primary group goals align well with the Center's regional priorities of; Improved information exchange and knowledge sharing, Improved understanding of current IPM issues; Increasing collaboration among diverse scientific communities; Increased adoption of IPM and; Improved economic and environmental impacts.
Objectives: Objective 1. Support improved information exchange, knowledge sharing, and resource development and delivery within the region via the NCIPM Great Lakes Hop Working Group and beyond. Objective 2. Improve grower access to hop IPM education and resources through the expansion of the regionally developed online hop course. |
