Summary:
This project will survey tree fruit growers in Utah to evaluate IPM practices. The survey will be designed by USU Extension faculty, and carried out by the Utah office of the National Agriculture Statistics Service, with a goal of reaching 80% of producers. The IPM program will analyze the data to determine level and intensity of IPM use, demographics that may influence adoption, impediments to adoption, economic impacts, and educational and research needs. Results will be used to evaluate the success of the USU IPM program in tree fruits, guide the program in future research and outreach activities, and provide impacts to help leverage funding for these projects.
Objectives: 1. Design and deliver a statewide tree fruit IPM assessment survey (spring- fall 2017). 2. Analyze survey data to determine extent and change in IPM adoption, document outreach/research needs, and assess changes in preferences for education formats and products for Utah’s tree fruit industry (fall-winter 2017-18). |
