Summary:
The New York State Information Network for Pesticides and Alternative Strategies will serve as the State Network Project (SNP) designed to gather and disseminate information on pesticides and pest management. The SNP will be administered and staffed by the Pesticide Management Education Program (PMEP) at Cornell University. PMEP will seek to enhance the level of knowledge, awareness, and understanding of local, state, regional, and national pest management practices for stakeholders and others by enhancing our existing website so that information can be accessed directly from the Northeastern IPM Center and associated sites; our electronic lists will provide immediate and timely information to our membership from these sites.
Objectives: 1) Disseminate regulatory information received from federal agencies (such as the EPA and the USDA's Office of Pest Management Policy) regarding the use and application of pesticides, including IPM practices in New York State. 2) Provide a website and listserv with helpful, current information and associated links for pesticides and IPM-related practices. 3) Distribute Northeastern IPM Center-related information, such as the release of RFAs, meeting dates, and regional IPM publications of importance in a timely fashion to all appropriate contacts. 4) Recruit an advisory committee to assist PMEP in prioritizing projects related to pesticide education, information outreach, and the development of extension and education publications focusing on integrating pesticides into IPM programs. 5) Create a new section on the PMEP website to educate stakeholders about the proper use of pesticides in the home and schools.
