Start Date: Sep-15-2007 End Date: Sep-14-2008

Area of Emphasis: Information NEtwork

Summary: It is proposed that Colorado State University (CSU) and University of Wyoming (UW) continue to participate jointly in the Mountain West Integrated Pest Management Information Network. The proposed Network will provide information; prioritize and coordinate pest management research, extension and educational programs; and respond to the informational needs of the public and private sectors on a regional basis. The Network will deliver pesticide regulatory and policy information to Extension educators, growers, crop consultants, and pesticide users in Colorado and Wyoming; gather pest management data from researchers, Extension specialists and agents, growers, crop consultants, and pesticide users; analyze these data to estimate the impacts of changes in pesticide regulations on agricultural productivity in Colorado and Wyoming; and share this information with the state departments of agriculture, Western Integrated Pest Management Center (WIPMC), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Co-coordinators will be responsible for facilitating communication among pest management faculty at CSU and UW. Objectives: Objective 1. Serve as a resource for information about the importance of IPM in local production systems covered by the network. Objective 2. Development of an information network that can respond to information requests from USDA, EPA and others within a short time frame (1 day-3 weeks). Objective 3. Collaborate and/or coordinate with a diverse group of stakeholders, including extension IPM coordinators, to identify critical pest management issues. Objective 4. Maintain a web site for the network. Objective 5. Aid in identification of appropriate individuals to address IPM surveys, crop profiles and Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs).
