Summary:
California produces more than 90% of the nation’s processing tomatoes. Developing a Pest Management Strategic Plan (PMSP) for processing tomato in California would be the first one for this crop in the country. One objective of the project is to identify processing tomato pest management research, regulatory, and extension needs and priorities. A second project objective is to record baseline information on current pest management practices to, in the future, document changes in practices over time and the catalysts for change. The University of California (UC) Pest Management Guidelines for Tomato is a prime resource for developing the initial draft PMSP. Key collaborators include UC Cooperative Extension advisors and specialists to guide the development of the draft PMSP, provide expertise in processing tomato pest management, and bring together key grower, pest control adviser and industry stakeholders. An experienced writer and editor with the UC Statewide IPM Program will draft the PMSP, facilitate the stakeholder meeting, coordinate the review, and finalize the PMSP for publication. Identifying processing tomato stakeholder pest management needs and priorities is the first step to solving the most important pest issues and concerns.
Objectives: 1. Identify processing tomato pest management research, regulatory, and extension/education needs and priorities. 2. Record baseline information on current pest management practices to document changes in pest management practices over time (and catalysts for change). |
