Summary:
We propose a State Network Project to enhance the function, activities, and processes of the Northeastern IPM Center. The Maryland Information Network for Pesticides and Alternative Strategies (MINPAS) will provide a structure to gather and transmit information on issues relevant to both current and transitional pest management strategies, including pesticides. MINPAS has been previously funded by USDA.
MINPAS aims to promote and enhance the adoption of integrated pest management, and to facilitate informed regulatory decisions on registered pesticides used on commodities grown in Maryland. To meet these goals, MINPAS will formally link (1) the IPM and (2) pesticide education units of the Maryland Cooperative Extension and (3) the Maryland Department of Agriculture; deliver pest management information and pesticide regulatory and policy information to Extension educators, growers, crop consultants, and pesticide users in the state; gather pest management data from researchers, Extension educators, growers, crop consultants, and pesticide users in response to requests from USDA, EPA, the Northeastern IPM Center, or other agencies; analyze these data to estimate the impacts of changes in pesticide regulations on agricultural productivity in Maryland; solicit input from other states in the mid-Atlantic region; and share this information with other states in the mid-Atlantic region, the Northeastern Integrated Pest Management Center, USDA, and the US EPA. Objectives: 1. Serve as the primary information source for federal and state regulatory agencies and other agencies regarding use and usage of all IPM tactics, including pesticides, in all IPM settings in the state. 2. Serve as a liaison among the NE IPMC, the land grant institution, and other key agencies in the state. 3. Enhance knowledge of IPM components, and promote informed decision-making by state clientele.
