Summary:
This project proposes to accomplish a major revision of the Cornell University Pest Management Recommendations for Vegetable and Potato Production in order to have the document include alternatives to pesticides as well as pesticide information, cultural practices, fertility practices, and variety information. Achieving the goal will allow users of the document to more easily understand and make use of all IPM options rather than just pesticides. At the same time we propose to make the document compatible and easily usable with the "Elements of IPM" for various crops. "Elements of IPM" are lists of IPM practices which are being used by a supermarket chain and others to identify products as IPM grown to consumers. Also, we propose to load the revised document onto the World Wide Web and make a template of the document available to other states should they need to make similar changes in their recommendations documents.
Objectives: Our goal is to transform the Cornell University Pest Management Recommendations for Vegetable and Potato Production (Pest Management Recommendations) from a document that focuses on pesticides to one that provides all pest management options in a concise and reader friendly format. This revised document would form a model for revision of similar Pest Management Recommendations produced in other states and regions. The revised document would be available in printed and electronic form (WWW). We will accomplish this goal within the context of vegetable cropping systems in New York using the pest complexes of insects, disease, weeds, and wildlife in addition to incorporation of cultural and fertility practices as well as variety recommendations. 1) Integrate all pest management options (e.g., cultural, biological, mechanical, chemical) into the Pest Management Recommendations. 2) Allow for easy translation between the Elements of IPM for each crop to corresponding recommendations in the Pest Management Recommendations. 3) Provide for access to the Pest Management Recommendations through printed and electronic media (WWW page format). 4) Provide the resulting printed and electronic format to other commodity groups and states as a template for revision of their pest management recommendations. This project was continued with additional funding in 1998. See that record for a summary of the entire project. |
