Summary:
The objectives of this Outreach and Implementation proposal are to produce a comprehensive and convenient publication in a portable format, on pests that occur in community environments in the arid southwestern United States, and to make it available to stakeholders online and in print, on a limited scale. Both print and online versions will be pilot tested with selected stakeholders, and their feedback incorporated before large scale printing in the future. The publication will compile and update existing information into a single, reader-friendly unit, which will fill a critical need of people living and working in community environments for on-site use. The current unavailability of a similar publication adds to its value. It will be co-authored, reviewed and evaluated by a team of experts and stakeholders from institutions and organizations across the southwest, which will increase its acceptability in multiple states. Biology, ecology and damage caused by major arthropod, vertebrate and weed pests in and around community environments in will be covered, with supporting color photographs for easy identification. Access to the completed publication will enhance community IPM implementation by improving stakeholder awareness about pests and their habits, and how these might impact control strategies. The proposal specifically addresses stakeholder-reported needs in the arid southwest, a region which has unique pest situations not found in other parts of the country. The proposal also addresses WIPMC priorities of promoting multi-state collaboration and linking diverse audiences to identify and pursue priorities for IPM research, extension, and education for Western pest management issues.
Objectives: 1. Produce a comprehensive and convenient publication on pests that occur in community environments in the arid southwestern United States 2. Make the publication available online through the Arizona Pest Management Center (APMC) website and the National eXtension website, and in print, on a limited scale 3. Pilot test the publication through selected stakeholders, solicit feedback at community IPM training events, and incorporate feedback into content before bulk printing |
