Summary:
We propose to continue and expand the multi-state (AZ, NM, NV, CA), multi-institutional, and multi-disciplinary Arid Southwest IPM Network (ASIPMN) previously established under this program, to serve as the primary information source for pest, pesticide, and pest management inquiries generated at the state, regional, and federal levels; as the system through which diverse interests in IPM come together and identify needs; and to facilitate full stakeholder participation within our area in WIPMC goals, objectives and priorities (e.g., crop profiles, pest management strategic plans). By leveraging other in-house and extramural sources, we now have a dedicated, appointed faculty position to act as Director of the Arizona Pest Management Center and the ASIPMN, which will allow us to continue to meet these priorities by focusing our financial and human resources on these objectives.
Objectives: 1. In collaboration with scientists and stakeholders throughout the southwest (AZ, NM, NV, and southern CA), we will serve as the primary and timely information source for USDA, EPA, and other state, regional, and federal interests regarding pest, pesticide and pest management issues in our multi-state area. 2. We will coordinate with diverse stakeholders, including extension IPM coordinators, to identify critical IPM issues facing our clientele and prioritize programs of response. 3. We will serve as a primary resource for IPM information in our network area, including information about the importance of IPM in local production systems. This will be achieved through maintenance of an ASIPMN website with links technical and organizational IPM information throughout our network region. 4. Through our established and expanding membership, we will facilitate and participate in Western region objectives and priorities including the development of IPM surveys, crop profiles and Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs). |
