Summary:
IPM through semiochemicals is an area of which Guams agriculture professionals need training. The purpose of this project is to build agriculture professionals understanding of the role of semiochemicals in IPM programs. The training will cover the semiochemical-based IPM methods on Guam for four important weevil pests. Phase 1 Course Development: over the course of 12 months semiochemical-based IPM methods will be implanted. Photos of trapping systems, pest damage symptoms as well as trapping date will be collected and developed into an instruction manual: Semiochemical-based IPM method for weevil pests on Guam. Phase 2 Instruction: for four months 10 agriculture professionals using material developed in phase one of the projects will be instructed on the trapping method including the importance of lures and trap characteristics. Phase 3 Field day and Evaluation: Agriculture professional trainees will host a field day for growers and the general public.
Objectives: To build agriculture professionals understanding of the role of semiochemicals in insect control and pest management and to assist agriculture professionals in passing their knowledge to growers. |
