Summary:
Vegetable farming in Utah is changing, with the number of large farms dwindling and the number of small farms with inexperienced growers increasing. To effectively target the vegetable industry in Utah, the Utah State University Extension IPM Program must gather information about vegetable growers changing pest management and horticultural needs. This project will survey all Utah vegetable growers farming one acre or more to determine pest management practices, in particular, IPM implementation. The survey will be designed by USU Extension faculty, and carried out by the Utah office of the National Agriculture Statistics Service. The IPM program will analyze the data to determine current use of IPM and all types of pest control practices, key grower and farm characteristics that may influence adoption of IPM, perceived impediments to adoption, economic aspects of IPM, and preference for education delivery techniques. Results of the survey analyses will be used to guide the vegetable IPM program in future research and outreach activities.
Objectives: 1. Design and deliver a statewide vegetable IPM assessment survey. 2. From the survey data, determine extent of IPM adoption and education/research needs in Utahs vegetable industry. |
