Summary:
The U.S. hop industry is concentrated in the three Pacific Northwest states of Washington, Oregon,
and Idaho. These states have over 99% of the nation's hop acreage and approximately 25% of worldwide acreage. Hops are a high-value-added crop used chiefly as a flavoring agent in beers and ales. Hop growers are a proactive and forward-thinking group that readily embraces new, lowerrisk, sustainable pest management approaches. They actively seek and support pest management research. They collaborated in the development of a pest management strategic plan that was published in 2008. Given the considerable progress made on the critical needs identified in that PMSP and the new pest management issues that have arisen for hop growers since the publication of that document, hop growers and industry stakeholders now believe it is time to revise and update the PMSP. We agree with the WRIPMC's assertion that a PMSP more than 5 years old is in need of an update (WRIPMC RFA, p. 5, under VII.D). We propose to develop a new PMSP in 2014, with publication in early 2015. The purpose of this proposal is to provide funding to cover the expenses of conducting a PMSP workshop in Yakima, Washington, in early November 2014 and to provide salary support for the time involved in drafting, editing, and production of the final document. We have assembled a team of experts intimately familiar with the WRIPMC PMSP process and intend to utilize existing protocols, including the "Suggested Process for Handling PMSP Revisions" published 11/21/07. Objectives: The objective of this proposal is to obtain support to conduct a PMSP workshop and produce a revised and updated Pest Management Strategic Plan for Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) Hops. |
