Marie Langham [2]
Lead State: SD

Lead Organization: South Dakota State University
Cooperating State(s): California
Undesignated Funding: $20,405
Start Date: Jul-01-2009

End Date: Jun-30-2010

Summary: South Dakota State University will enter into a subcontract with the Western IPM Center to provide the following deliverables on the Project Legume ipmPIPE Subcontract, 2009. The goal of the state-based components of the Legume ipmPIPE is to provide useful information for integrated pest management through a national network with information associated with IPM for pests including soybean rust (SBR), soybean aphid, white mold, bacterial diseases, legume viruses and other pests of legumes including common beans, cool-season legumes, and warm-season legumes. (a) This project will adhere to procedures for design, crop and pest monitoring, and data reporting in accordance with national protocols. Data will be reported in a timely fashion using nationally established procedures, with close communication between the field and laboratory (e.g., National Plant Diagnostic Network and other state and regional virology lab resources). (b) This project will participate routinely in regional and national networking activities including conference calls. (c) This project will contribute appropriate state-based commentaries to the online Legume ipmPIPE information management system with methods and frequency as established by the Legume ipmPIPE. (d) This project will provide reports as requested by the national program. (e) This project will include coordination activities by Dr. Marie Langham serving the eastern region of the U.S.

Plant field plots of legume crops typically grown in the state (e.g., common beans - dry bean, snap bean, fresh market bean; cool season legumes  chickpea or Garbanzo bean, field pea, lentil; and/or warm season legumes - lima bean, cowpea or Southern Pea) and/or work with growers to monitor representative commercial fields. Visually inspect and/or sample fields on the following schedule for the Groups of diseases or pests:

Group 1  Small lesions or spots (pustules) such as the Rusts; e.g., Soybean Rust and Common Rust
Group 2  Small to large foliar and/or pod lesions or spots caused by fungal and bacterial pathogens
Subgroup 2-A: Fungal Diseases, e.g., Ascochyta Leaf Spot of chickpea, White Mold of all legumes
Subgroup 2-B: Bacterial Diseases, e.g., Common Bacterial Blight, Bacterial Brown Spot, Halo Blight, Bacterial Wilt
Group 3  legume viruses (examples could include)
Western Region: Bean common mosaic virus/Alfalfa mosaic virus and Beet curly top virus;
Eastern Region: Bean yellow mosaic virus/Cucumber mosaic virus of legumes such as common bean.
Group 4  insect pests; e.g., Soybean Aphid or Bean/Pea Aphid and other insects of sentinel legumes such as Mexican Bean Beetle, Western Bean Cutworm, Thrips, Spider Mites, Leafhoppers, Whiteflies and Lygus Bugs will be identified by entomologists and regional Sentinel Plot specialists

The State Specialist will contact the local NPDN or State Diagnostic laboratory (e.g., GPDN at South Dakota State University) to set up contract, transfer funds and schedule sample deliveries. The State Specialist will report observations (weekly to biweekly) to the Legume ipmPIPE (all legume diseases and pests, crop status) and ipmPIPE (Soybean Rust) national restricted and public web sites.

A brief final report of seasonal activities will be reported to the WIPMC and Legume ipmPIPE Coordinators (Drs. H. Schwartz  Colorado State University and M. Langham  South Dakota State University).



Objectives: Establish field plots (5 sentinel plots in South Dakota) to monitor legume pests and diseases.

Provide samples to appropriate laboratory to assess diseases.

Provide funding to laboratory for disease assessments.

Fund the Eartern Regional Coordinator (Dr. Langham) to conduct coordination activities

Report findings to Legume ipmPIPE (all diseases and pests) and ipmPIPE (Soybean Rust) web sites.

A brief summary of activities and observation will be submitted to the WIPMC at the completion of the growing season
