Summary:
The Legume ipm PIPE (PIPE=Pest Information Platform for Extensions and Education) consists of a network of 160 Sentinel and Soybean Aphid on Soybean plots in 30 states, provinces and districts of the U.S., Canada and Mexico: and is a spin-off of the successful Soybean PIPE which has monitored the progress of and provided timely management strategies for Soybean Rust in recent years. The disease threat to other legume crops such as common bean has been increasing annually as more soybeans become infected earlier each year in the U.S. and Canada and Mexico; and legume monitoring will be more in demand during 2009.
During the 2009 growing season, a team of university specialists will be monitoring and reporting priority disease and insect pests in critical legume crops across Florida. Scouting will occur in soybean and common bean plots for insect pests and fungal, bacterial diseases. The PIPE provides near real-time access to legume pest observations, model output, pest management information, as well as communication tools to support pest management decision making by growers during the growing season. State observations and commentary will be provided for publication through the ipmPIPE website at http://legume.ipmpipe.org. Objectives: Objectives Faculty with the University of Florida will Establish field plots to monitor legume pests and diseases. Collect samples for disease and insect assessment. Train DPM students in legume disease and insect identification using Clinical Trials Laboratory Facilities. Report findings to ipmPIPE website. Provide a brief summary of activities and observations to the WIPMC at the completion of the growing season |
