Summary:
This proposal seeks annual funding for a regulatory network that covers the entire southern region of the U.S., which includes 13 states and two territories. The proposal also seeks funding for revising several existing crop profiles and creating a new profile for watercress. The regulatory network is comprised of six funded faculty members (five funded by this proposal) working at different academic institutions across the southern region. These regions approximate the Plains, Coastal Plain, Piedmont/Mid-Atlantic, Central/Appalachia, and GA/FL/Caribbean. A number of qualified personnel across the region have agreed to assist in maintaining this network which responds to questions posed by federal regulatory agencies such as the U.S Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is tasked with pesticide regulation. The network ensures that information flow from the regulatory agencies to the stakeholders, while stakeholder concerns are transmitted to the agencies. The total funding requested for the network is less than $150,000 and that for the crop profiles is approximately $18,000.
Objectives: Objectives Objective 1: Serve as primary contact for inquiries submitted to the proposed regulatory network for the entire southern region. Objective 2: Serve to answer questions from any stakeholder regarding pesticide use and/or pest management in southern region. Objective 3: Maintain stakeholder network for issues regarding pest management and pesticide regulation. Objective 4: Provide coordination and oversight for crop profiles and PMSPs. Objective 5: Provide an annual assessment prioritizing crop profiles and PMSPs. Objective 6: Provide an annual list of Extension IPM-related experts for the southern region. Objective 7: Maintain a project web site. Objective 8: Publish monthly newsletter to advise stakeholders of issues of interest and other analyses that measure IPM impact. Objective 9: Update the crop profiles for major citrus, lettuce, and sweet corn and create a new profile for watercress. |
