Summary:
The tree fruit programs at Utah State University and Colorado State University both have a long and successful history of working with and educating growers in pest management. By pooling resources and expertise, we propose to produce the first comprehensive commercial tree fruit production guide for the Utah-Colorado region, addressing a need for regional efforts in tree fruit IPM. Copies will be distributed to all commercial growers in both states, and we will create a web site where the guide can be offered in an easy to search format, and updated yearly. To supplement the written and online versions, we will also produce a series of short, web-ready videos on tree fruit pest monitoring techniques and key pest identification, designed to target commercial and hobbyist growers. Completion of this project will not only help to fulfill the need for a regional tree fruit pest management guide, but also will help growers learn about pest monitoring, and help the Utah and Colorado tree fruit programs better serve the citizens of their states.
Objectives: 1. Produce and distribute regional Utah-Colorado Tree Fruit Production Guide in print and online. 2. Produce Web-enabled video shorts of IPM tree fruit pest identification and scouting techniques. 3. Develop Web site to house tree fruit production guide and scouting videos. |
