Summary: This State Contact Project (SCP) proposal addresses the priorities of the Southern Region IPM Center (SRIPMC) by enhancing the development and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) in Alabama. The goals are to support the communications network of the SRIPMC, assist the center in meeting the goals of the National IPM Roadmap, and promote IPM knowledge and adoption in Alabama. The project will establish an IPM information program at Auburn University and fund a State Contact Project for Alabama to: 1) Serve as the primary contact in Alabama for regulatory questions related to pest management and pesticides. The SCP for Alabama will respond to inquiries from entities such as the Southern Region IPM Center (SRIPMC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) other appropriate federal agencies, state regulatory agencies, and non-governmental stakeholder groups; 2) Establish and maintain a stakeholder network to develop IPM priorities for Alabama. The project director (PD) is already working to establish a broad-based and diverse IPM Advisory Committee for Alabama with appropriate stakeholder representation; 3) Provide planning, coordination and oversight for SRIPMC projects conducted in Alabama, including crop profiles, pest management strategic plans (PMSPs), special projects, and for stakeholder-identified priorities in the state. The list of priorities and the process used in establishing the priorities will be published online and in SRIPMC communication channels, such as the Southern Exposure; 4) Develop and maintain a project website as required by the SRIPMC; 5) Attend and participate at the annual state contact meeting arranged by the SRIPMC; and 6) Provide important and timely IPM information to stakeholders in Alabama through appropriate media, including fact sheets, pest alerts, newsletters, presentations at grower meetings and IPM workshops, electronic mails, and IPM websites. The expected outcomes of this project include the number of information requests and the quality of the responses provided by the SCP, establishment of a broad-based IPM Advisory Committee and published IPM priorities for Alabama, and a progress report detailing the overall impact of the SCP in facilitating IPM knowledge, education, and implementation in Alabama.
