Summary:
The pulse industry including dry peas, lentils, and chickpeas has expanded considerably since the last Pest Management Strategic Plan update was completed in 2006. In addition, new technologies and resources have been added to the industry research programs in major production regions including the Pulse Crop Disease Diagnostic Lab (PCDDL) at MSU, completion of the Aphid Virus Project at UofI, and the addition of a new breeding program at NDSU. New crop protection materials have been added like Linuron (Lorox®) for pulses and new fungicides to fight foliar diseases. The landscape of production has changed, with chickpeas primarily grown in ID and WA, MT becoming the largest dry pea and lentil producing state in the US, and fall seeded pulses showing promise as a productive rotation crop.
The purpose of this working group is three fold. First, to produce an updated Pest Management Strategic Plan for the pulse industry reviewing current pests, emerging issues and prioritizing IPM activities for the next five years. Second, to help prioritize the work of the PCDDL at MSU and help find sources of sustainable funding. Finally, the working group will enhance the existing PNW Pest Alert Network to add pulse crop diagnostics alerts to the system for the entire industry. Collaboration with the North Central Pulse Crops WG is an additional benefit of this plan. 2016 is the UN designated International Year of Pulses so it is fitting that the Industry join with the research community and review this Pest Management Strategic Plan to utilize the awareness of pulses and position these crops for the future. Objectives: Objectives. 1. One face to face work group meeting and two conference calls. 2. Revise the pulse PMSP, including new stakeholders in Montana. 3. Develop a strategy for long-term sustainable funding for the Regional Pulse Crop Diagnostic Laboratory. 4. Enhance existing PNW Pest Alert Network to add pulse crop diagnostics alerts and other pest alerts. 5. Identify new pesticides that fit into a pulse IPM plan, to be utilized for IR-4 priority setting and MRL priorities. |
