Summary:
These grant funds are being used to engage vegetable IPM educators, consultants and farmers in a collaborative partnership with NRCS agencies across the northeast region in order to establish a network and develop plans for sharing expertise, resources and outreach activities. We have held a regional meeting that broke new ground in building understanding among members of these two very distinct agencies and opened the door for further collaboration. Many activities have supported the goal of developing IPM resources and educational programs for agricultural professionals in the Natural Resources Conservation Service, land grant universities, state agencies and other organizations and for vegetable farmers, to foster adoption of IPM through NRCS conservation programs.
Objectives: Develop collaborative arrangements and educational tools with NRCS agencies to promote further adoption of IPM in NE vegetable production. Proposal Final Report 2007 Highlighted in October 2008 IPM Insights and October 2007 USDA-CSREES News |
