Summary:
The Florida Pest Management Information Program (PMIP) has cooperated with the USDA CSREES Integrated Pest Management Centers since the implementation of the project through the auspices of the Pesticide Information Office at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Under program grants, the Florida PMIP has provided top-down and bottom-up Florida-specific information to federal agencies and other stakeholders through its communication network. In addition to Florida, the program extends these services to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Future funding ensures the viability of this network. The proposal also outlines revision of three crop profiles (cantaloupe, eggplant, and strawberry) and the creation of several new profiles, including cotton and pecan. Pest Management Strategic Plans are also proposed for lettuce and sweet corn.
Objectives: Objective 1: Serve as primary contact for regulatory questions related to pest management and pesticides in Florida and the Caribbean. Objective 2: Serve to answer questions from any stakeholder regarding pesticide use and/or pest management in Florida and the Caribbean. Objective 3: Maintain stakeholder network for issues regarding pest management and pesticide regulation. Objective 4: Provide coordination and oversight for Florida 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 Florida. Objective 7: Maintain a project web site. Objective 8: Attend annual state contact meeting. Objective 9: Publish monthly newsletter (electronically and by hard copy) to advise stakeholders of issues of interest and other analyses that measure IPM impact. Objective 10: Update the crop profiles for eggplant, cantaloupe, and strawberry and create new profiles for cotton and pecan. Conduct PMSPs for lettuce and sweet corn. |
