Summary: This subcontract is part of a large multi-state project (Legume PIPE) that aims to bring legume specialists from different regions of the US to work together to monitor insects and diseases in legumes, to report the information to a national database, and to develop educational materials. In New York we will monitor 5 sentinel plots of snap beans during the 2009 growing season. Cooperating growers will plant and maintain the plots as part of their regular production. The plots will be scouted and monitored for insects and diseases every two weeks from planting until harvest. Leaf samples will be collected and sent to the Cornell Plant Pathology Diagnostic Clinic for virus testing. Unknown insects will be collected and sent to the Cornell Insect Diagnostic Lab for identification. Data will be recorded in the national Legume PIPE database. The project director will participate in biweekly conference calls with the other directors and cooperators on the national project.

Objectives: 1) To monitor sentinel plots of snap beans in New York for diseases and insects.
2) Report data to national LegumePIPE database.
3) Participate in national conference calls and development of educational materials.
