1. Spanish translation on 5 additional pest notes


2. Sentinel gardens used to monitor for pest and new invasives


3. see YouTube video for EIP report (available at https://youtu.be/_EqYLrF7OVg)

Arizona (Al Fournier)

1. ThryvOn cotton acreage acounts for about 8% of upland cotton planted in Arizona and this technology has eliminated 1-3 sprays to control thrips and lygus 


2. In a project with the Better Cotton Initiative, the APMC found that less than 1% of Arizona cotton is treated with highly hazardous pesticides listed in the Better Cotton Initiative sustainability standards 


3. Adoption of predator thresholds is increasing as we continue to teach and demonstrate their utility


4. The APMC is partnering with 15 of 22 Arizona tribes on various pest management issues including food safety, vector control, and agricultural production

California (Jim Farrar)

- Ronda Hirnyck talked about the Vertebrate Pest Management Needs Assessment Survey. The survey is focused on Extension professionals, State and Federal Wildlife Agency Staff, Technical Advisors, and other Wildlife Control Professionals. The Survey can be found at wvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5neRmIDuJh2zBTE

-Jim Farrar talked about the Farming and Food Narrative project. The Gap analysis compares the opinions of Ag professionals to the general public. From this analysis the project found that sustainability and soil health are core concepts for Ag professionals, but are missing from public perception. Ag professionals focus on the future (technology) while the general public focuses on the past (nostalgic). For solutions, Ag professionals look to research and the public focuses on regulation. To help explain risk management and complex decision making by producers the project identified the tightrope metaphor as useful. In addition, the study conclusions suggested the avoidance of general terms like “pest” or “pesticide” and the use of more specific terms like “weed” or “herbicide.” And appeal to the curiosity and love of ingenuity of your audience.

We also have a team that specializes in IPM Assessment. Highlights presented throughout this report span across teams and programs and emphasize multi-state collaborations.</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ThryvOn Cotton</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Genetically modified ThryvOn cotton, resistant to Frankliniella thrips and Lygus bugs, was successfully introduced on a limited scale in 2021. Our research and Extension supported the use of this new technology. In 2022, ThryvOn cotton increased from 6% to 8% of upland cotton in Arizona and was grown without restriction in commercial production in 2023. Our data show that growers of ThryvOn cotton saved about 1 to 1.3 foliar sprays on their crop, valued at about $20 to $26 per acre, or about $150,000&ndash;178,000 saved by the cotton industry per year since 2021. A survey of growers and Pest Control Advisors at an August 2023 field day showed that 43% would &ldquo;definitely&rdquo; adopt ThryvOn cotton, while 28.5% were &ldquo;very likely&rdquo; and 28.5% were &ldquo;somewhat likely&rdquo; to adopt ThryvOn cotton. No respondents were negatively disposed toward adoption.</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) Cotton IPM Field Day</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">As a commitment of our 2023 Better Cotton Initiative grant, we held a comprehensive and inclusive field day at Ak-Chin Farms, hosting over 40 pest control advisers, researchers, growers and industry representatives to give them hands-on experience in scouting for pests and natural enemies, and deploying &ldquo;Predator Thresholds&rdquo; that account for the impact of natural enemies on whitefly spray decisions. We also demonstrated the impact of ThryvOn cotton on Lygus management and presented economic results of ThryvOn cotton adoption. The session highlighted field research outcomes in partnership with tribal growers, including successful strategies for preserving a balanced ecosystem with the goal of safeguarding natural enemies, fostering thriving cotton growth, and optimizing yield. The session was interactive and included many hands-on demonstrations and collaborative discussions. More details and an outstanding video produced by Better Cotton Initiative are available here: <a href="https://bettercotton.org/us-better-cotton-farmers-adopt-innovative-pest-management-techniques/">https://bettercotton.org/us-better-cotton-farmers-adopt-innovative-pest-management-techniques/</a></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&nbsp;</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vegetable IPM Program Reduces Pesticide Risk and Supports Strong Industry Outcomes</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Vegetable IPM program led by Dr. John Palumbo provides insect pest management expertise to the produce industry centered around Yuma, Arizona. In 2020, Arizona fresh vegetables (lettuces, leafy greens, brassicas) and melons were valued at over $1.15bil. IPM plays a critical role managing insect pests, weeds and plant diseases while balancing human health, environmental and economic risks to deliver product to market. The Vegetable IPM Team addresses these significant challenges in a fun and engaging way that makes growers and pest managers true partners in the program. The team maintains &ldquo;constant contact&rdquo; with stakeholders through bi-weekly Arizona Vegetable IPM Update newsletters delivered via email, smart phone and web, reaching over 1,000 growers, pest control advisors and others engaged in desert vegetable production in the Southwest region. Based on user surveys:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>80% of growers and pest managers adopted reduced-risk pest management practices <em>because </em>of timely research and information from the Vegetable IPM program</li><br /> <li>83% reported increased yields</li><br /> <li>80% reported decreased use of broad-spectrum chemistries</li><br /> <li>70% reported that our outreach helped them avoid economic losses through IPM</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Food Safety and IPM to Support Tribal Producers</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Food safety is effectively integrated pest management. Food safety and IPM are very much alike and rooted in the very same principles of prevention and avoidance, sampling and remediation. Integrated Pest Management. Our Public Health IPM Team brings together expertise across disciplines to address IPM and food safety issues for underserved audiences.&nbsp; Dr. Margarethe Cooper with Dr. Channah Rock, Natalie Brassill and Dr. Shujuan &ldquo;Lucy&rdquo; Li integrate food safety into overall public health programs. They work with stakeholders to identify food safety education needs and leverage grant-supported projects for the protection of public health. In collaboration with the Produce Safety Alliance, Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, and many other program partners, they conducted a series of Food Safety and IPM Workshops on tribal lands in 2022-2023. Training topics covered the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and followed the main training competency areas of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule. Topics also included kitchen pests and their management, pesticide safety, microbial threats, and disinfectants and sanitizers in food handling/prep facilities. Over 200 tribal participants attended the in-person trainings. As the result of this collaborative effort, tribal participants improved awareness and knowledge of food safety practices to protect public health and reduce food-borne illnesses. Results have been presented at several annual meetings and conferences.</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Public Health IPM Programs Impact Tribal Communities</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Arizona is home to 22 tribal nations, more than any other state. Many tribal members live in remote areas with minimal access to medical facilities and advice and are particularly vulnerable to public health threats. Since 2018, the Public Health IPM team has partnered with 15 of Arizona&rsquo;s federally recognized Native American Nations and has reached nearly 250,000 residents on 42,604 square miles of reservation lands with science-based outreach.</p><br /> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> <li>From 2018 to 2020, we reached 18,286 people in trainings, workshops, IPM demonstrations &amp; other outreach events</li><br /> <li>Surveys from 2019 (n=326) indicated up to a 75% increase in knowledge of IPM, public health pests and pesticide safety</li><br /> <li>A majority of tribal collaborators say they will use IPM to improve their lives and communities</li><br /> <li>At least 4 tribes have adopted IPM within their disease-prevention programs, protecting over 24,300 tribal residents from illnesses such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and West Nile virus that can be spread from brown dog ticks and mosquitoes, respectively</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Increasing Awareness and Involvement in Federal Pesticide Regulatory Policy</span></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">We developed an email listserv and newsletter on pesticide regulatory issues and opportunities for comment to EPA. In a 2023 survey of EPA Comment Newsletter participants (n=23, 7.2% response rate), participants agreed (strongly agreed / somewhat agreed) that, as a result of our newsletter:</p><br /> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> <li>96% (83% / 13%) are more informed about pesticides under review</li><br /> <li>96% (87% / 9%) are more informed about deadlines to submit comments</li><br /> <li>87% (48% / 39%) are more informed about potential risks of pesticides</li><br /> <li>95% (78% / 17%) are more informed about policy decisions that may impact them</li><br /> <li>96% (83% / 13%) said they had improved access to submit comments to EPA</li><br /> <li>78% (39% / 39%) felt empowered to influence policy decisions at the federal level as a result of resources we have developed with leveraged funding through the Arizona Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.</li><br /> <li>74% said information provided in our updates has helped inform actions they&rsquo;ve taken or decisions they&rsquo;ve made related to pesticides under review. Listed actions included submitting comments to EPA, discontinuation of broad-spectrum insecticide use, and a reduction in wide spectrum herbicide use.</li><br /> <li>We recently began providing information related to EPA&rsquo;s handling of its obligations related to the Endangered Species Act in pesticide registration reviews. All respondents indicated this was helpful. (22% extremely helpful, 43% very helpful, 35% somewhat helpful)</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>California</strong></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Improving communication of farming to the general public: Accurately communicating good farming practices, including IPM practices, with the general public is difficult. As a member of IPM Voice Board of Directors, Jim Farrar participated in an eight-year project to understand the mental models (=frames) the public commonly uses to think about farming and then develop communication strategies to promote productive communication about farming. Results and suggested communication strategies were presented to agricultural communicators in two workshops funded by a grant from Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education. One workshop was held in Oregon and the other in California with 25 participants at each workshop.</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Colorado</strong></p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">We have increased the participants skills, knowledge, and awareness of IPM issues and strategies through extensive training, demonstrations, and engagement with IPM practitioners in the field:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Pest Management in the Intermountain West 2022 Conference, Fort Collins, CO. &ldquo;Identification and management of Palmer amaranth in CO.&rdquo; 18 November 2022, approx. 100 attendees.</li><br /> <li>e 4-H conference attendees, 15 4-H students, &ldquo;Becoming an Agricultural Biologist&rdquo;. 23 June 2022.</li><br /> <li>Expert content reviewer for script for American Chemical Society&rsquo;s YouTube series Reactions about glyphosate mode of action and glyphosate resistance.

This series contains content on IPM of all major pest groups: weeds, insects, diseases, and nematodes. So far 11 of these publications have been accepted for publication.</li><br /> <li>Educational videos are also used to reach a wider audience. During this reporting period there were 12 videos concerning biological control of weeds produced and made available online. Nine video recordings of EIP team members&rsquo; presentations concerning priority IPM topics were made available online (see publications for selected examples). A video concerning spider mites in sugar beets was identified as a priority for video production, and is in the final stages of production, to be available online during the next reporting period. Further informational videos are under development including the use of degree days and degree day models in IPM programs, spiders as nuisance pests, and protecting pollinator health.</li><br /> <li>A new University of Idaho IPM site (https://www.uidaho.edu/extension/ipm) was launched on 6/5/2023, and now directs clientele to a wide variety of resources and tools. The new site hosts a wide variety of educational content, including up-to-date information concerning pesticide safety and education and pesticide licensing; the site also directs users to various other UI-based resources. Pages with Idaho-specific IPM information on over 40 prominent pests have been created and are accessible through the site. These pages cover all major pest types (arthropods, pathogens, and weeds) that can be found in agricultural, urban, and landscape settings. Creation of further content for this site is an ongoing effort. The new UI IPM site also directs clientele to the pest tracking and alert systems also supported by the EIP, and to other UI Extension services related to IPM such as plant and weed diagnostics labs, pest identification services, analytical sciences lab services, and cocoon testing for alfalfa seed growers. Lastly, the new IPM site provides links to updated courses, webinars, and other educational resources, directing clientele to key resources that facilitate the adoption and success of IPM programs.</li><br /> <li>The four pest monitoring networks maintained by the University of Idaho are now hosted on a centralized monitoring dashboard (<a href="https://idahopestmonitoring.org/">https://idahopestmonitoring.org/</a>). The networks hosted include a psyllid/liberibacter monitoring network, a spore trap network, and aphid/virus monitoring networks in both northern and eastern Idaho. The hosted monitoring programs post current season data, as it is collected, to alert managers of potential outbreaks, as well as historical data from previous years&rsquo; monitoring efforts. In addition to weekly reporting (graphs and distribution maps) our dashboard includes blogs for each of the monitoring networks to summarize key findings and make management recommendations to producers.</li><br /> <li>Over 57 presentations were delivered to address pest issues in Idaho&rsquo;s wide variety of crops. These presentations were delivered at events such as crop schools (3), IPM workshops (3), and field days (&gt;17). One key event was UI&rsquo;s annual Idaho Potato Conference, with 815 attendees. Another key event was the University of Idaho Snake River Weed Tour and Field Day, with 86 attendees.</li><br /> <li>A course site for Idaho Master Gardeners was created where new pesticide safety study materials are available at no cost to participants. So far, 63 Master Gardeners have taken this online training as a companion to their other coursework.</li><br /> <li>Revisions to chapter 9 of the Master Gardener Handbook (Pesticide management and safety) were submitted on May 15, 2023. Authors are currently working on revisions to the chapters concerning insect identification and management, as well as the creation of a new chapter devoted to IPM principles. These revised and new chapters will also be turned into interactive modules that will be hosted online on the new Idaho Master Gardener course site.</li><br /> <li>Successful implementation of IPM programs relies upon proper pest identification, which often requires advanced training or consultation of an expert. The Idaho Insect Identification site was visited a total of 730 times by 619 unique users during the reporting period. During this reporting period, 85 samples were submitted and provided with identifications.</li><br /> <li>UI Extension Pesticide Safety Education Programs (PSEP) led the Green Collar College program held at the Idaho Horticulture Expo. This event is hosted by the Idaho Nursery and Landscape Association, which brings together retail nurseries and garden centers, wholesale, growers, landscape contractors and maintenance firms, arborists, and allied trades. The event focuses on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of management practices in nursery and landscape settings in Idaho.</li><br /> <li>In early 2023, UI Extension PSEP launched 6 separate online recertification webinars that are Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) approved.</li><br /> <li>Pre-license education for pesticide safety has been delivered in-person and online.</li><br /> <li>Early detection of potato psyllids is critical in managing the vector-borne zebra chip disease (ZC). Potato psyllids were monitored weekly in 55 (2023) and 73 (2022) commercial fields across southern Idaho over June to early September. Psyllids were tested individually for the presence of the ZC pathogen using PCR. Weekly reports from trapping efforts were extended to growers through the Idaho Pest Monitoring Dashboard and the PNW Pest Alert system, allowing growers to make informed decisions regarding the need for and timing of insecticide applications to manage ZC in their potato crop. This service helps with effective ZC management in &gt;300,000 acres of potatoes in Idaho.</li><br /> <li>During this reporting period, over 10,050 youth participated in a program where they were allowed to hold and interact with live insects and other arthropods. This program facilitates greater comfort with insects and other invertebrates, aiming to reduce over-use of pesticides and acceptance of the presence of benign and beneficial insects.</li><br /> <li>The University of Idaho Parma Cocoon Testing Laboratory is a non-profit, extension-oriented service focused on providing statistically accurate estimates of the proportion of live cells, chalkbrood mortality, pollen ball mortality and parasitoids of the alfalfa leafcutting bee nest cells to growers. During this reporting period we provided analysis of over 50 leafcutting populations for alfalfa seed growers.</li><br /> <li>The Ag Talk Tuesday virtual series, in which UI professionals and peers discuss current crop issues and timely topics during the field season, held 7 virtual sessions between May and September 2022, and 6 virtual sessions between May and August 2023.</li><br /> <li>The Idaho Rangeland Livestock Symposium was held in person in 3 locations in southcentral Idaho as well as online. This event educated participants to facilitate the improvement of range use and productivity, as well as operation profitability. Since rangeland covers approximately 55% of Idaho&rsquo;s land base, education of rangeland managers is key. This symposium included discussion of weed management, and was a collaborative effort between UI, the Idaho Rangeland Resource Commission, Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Idaho Department of Lands, Idaho Cattle Association, and Natural Resources Conservation Service.</li><br /> <li>The Regional Master Gardener Convention in Rexburg Idaho had over 50 participants and covered many IPM-related topics such as: the microscopic world of botany and entomology, Water conservation in landscapes, Caring for young trees so they can be great mature trees, Pest management year-round: using integrated practices, Root washing: exposing root problems before planting, and Math is fun! learning sprayer calibration.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</p><br /> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Nevada</strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Master Gardeners: Provided 13 classes (27 IPM training hrs.; 879 total participants).</li><br /> <li>Green Industry professionals: Provided eight (8) classes for (24 IPM training hrs.; 173 total contacts).

Participants presented highlights of the current research and extension activities from their state at this year’s annual meeting. Presentations were formatted so that “highs,” “lows,” and “buffaloes” were shared, as a means of generating new ideas, reporting shifts in focus, and generating new opportunities for greater coordination of activities.

Focus Presentations

Pest Friends Part II (Jason Thomas and Grant Loomis - University of Idaho)

• Awarded first prize from National Extension Educators Society and currently conducting WSARE grant tour and training through the states of Idaho, Montana, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, and Wyoming.


• In development are game expansions including decisions on weeds and pollinators, a version for children, and an online version.


• Surveying participants found that 98% had a change in mindset such as focusing more on scouting and research.


• Carrie Jensen has used as part of the pesticide applicator and master gardener training.

Bumble Bee Atlas Project (Amy Dolan amy.dolan@xerces.com - conservation biologist at The Xerces Society and coordinator for the Mountain States Project)

• A community science project in partnership with state and federal agencies to train volunteers (mostly Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists) on collecting bumble bee observational data.


• Twenty states involved – some are regional efforts covering the Pacific Northwest and Mountain States, and others are state-specific like California.


• Some work on translating materials into Spanish.


• More info available at org

Monitoring Western Butterflies (Matt Forister – University of Nevada Reno)

• Butterfly abundance data from transect from coastal California to Nevada boarder over 50+ years shows:


• A decline in the populations in the Sacramento valley in 90's possibly related to neonic use.


• A decline in populations the mountains in the 2000s, probably related to mega drought.


• Pesticide residues on plants in ditches and margins and even in conservation habitats are a consistent problem.


• Best predictor of butterfly decline was increase in fall temperatures.


• These declines may lead to more listings as threatened or endangered.

Collaboration Brainstorming Prompts (Project Objectives):

1. Increase participants’ skills, knowledge, and awareness of regional/national IPM issues, systems, and strategies.


2. Serve as a platform and feedback body to promote Multi-State and transdisciplinary IPM research and Extension, and help connect outputs/outcomes with key user groups.


3. Enhance collaboration, sharing of ideas, and creation of regional outputs such as Multi-State grants and shared outreach materials.


4. Improve coordination of IPM research and outreach programs that address on-going, emerging, and other critical pest and related environmental issues.

Participants brainstormed ideas for improved collaboration/coordination and organized them by the above prompts. Discussions will continue at our next meeting in March 2025.

Next WERA-1017 in San Diego March 3, 2025 (hosted by Tim Seipel). Wyoming will host the WERA 1017 meeting in July 2026.

Accomplishments

<p>The overarching goal of the WERA1017 committee is to enhance IPM adoption and impact within the western states and Pacific Basin Territories. The group&rsquo;s efforts over the past years highlight the value of a joint, comprehensive approach to address this goal and to serve as a forum for discussion and communication with broader regional and national entities. Progress over the past year toward completion of project objectives includes the following:</p><br /> <p><strong>Objective 1: Increase participants&rsquo; skills, knowledge, and awareness of regional/national IPM issues, systems, and strategies.</strong></p><br /> <p>Examples of the project-related activities, outputs, and outcomes are as follows:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Many states do not have a school IPM program. <em>Oregon State University School IPM Program shared pest issues in schools and school IPM implementation strategies with colleagues and stakeholders from other states</em>. They conducted 11 hands-on school IPM coordinator training events throughout the state that reached over 97% of Oregon&rsquo;s 197 school districts (1,200 schools), representing over half a million students. They also co-created outreach publications with school IPM coordinators, using a cadre of participant/peer-trainers at School IPM Program training events, as well as professionals from a county health department, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and the OSU Turf Management Program.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Peter Ellsworth and team at University of Arizona have realized the full potential of integrating chemical and biological control in cotton by developing &ldquo;Inaction Thresholds,&rdquo; which are based on levels of important endemic predators that are sampled and counted alongside pests. <em>This past year or so, they have seen enthusiastic adoption among Pest Control Advisors (PCAs) in Arizona and California at a series of hands-on workshops.</em> Pre and post surveys of participants showed an 84% increase in respondents who &ldquo;always&rdquo; consider predators when timing whitefly sprays. The health of the natural control system is reflected in results of the 2023 Cotton Pest Losses survey, a Signature Program of the Western IPM Center. In 2023, growers averaged only 0.58 insecticide sprays for all arthropod pests on a statewide basis, the lowest levels in recorded history. Over 67% of all cotton acreage did not receive a single foliar spray for arthropod pests. In completing the integration of biological with chemical controls, growers choose products that have been shown to be fully selective and safe to these beneficial predators on more than 90% of their acreage.</li><br /> <li>The Public Health IPM Team at University of Arizona, led by Shujuan (Lucy) Li, brings together faculty expertise across disciplines to address IPM, vector management to reduce public health pests, and food safety issues for underserved audiences. This work <em>reaches often remote audiences in 17 out of 22 tribal nations and communities in Arizona and bordering states</em>. At least four tribes have adopted IPM within their disease-prevention programs, protecting over 24,300 tribal residents from illnesses such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and West Nile virus that can be spread from brown dog ticks and mosquitoes, respectively.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p><strong>Objective 2: Serve as a platform and feedback body to promote multi-state and transdisciplinary IPM research and extension, and help connect outputs/outcomes with key user groups.</strong></p><br /> <p>WERA 1017 members share their expertise and ideas with other states, broadening the scope and reach of IPM programing and minimizing duplication of effort. Some examples include:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">IPM Infrastructure Survey, Outreach, and Journal of IPM Article</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>WERA-1017 members in every state participated in a national survey intended to document the current level of investment in Integrated Pest Management programs at Land Grant colleges. The national survey, developed and implemented under the leadership of Daren Mueller, a professor and Extension plant pathologist at Iowa State University, had an unprecedented 100% response rate, representing data from all state IPM programs funded through the USDA NIFA Crop Protection and Pest Management Extension Implementation Program. This collaborative effort resulted in a presentation at the National IPM Coordinating Committee meeting and development of a scientific article submitted in September 2024 to the Journal of IPM. Many members of WERA-1017 are coauthors on the paper. A major goal of this effort is to establish the needs and shortcomings of federal support for state IPM programs and to further a discussion toward enhancing future resources.</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Resistance Management, IPM, and Cancer: <em>Transdisciplinary approach</em></span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>This research, conducted at the University of Arizona, reflects the <em>transdisciplinary nature of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), bridging pest control and oncology by addressing the challenge of resistance and managing disease</em>. Just as pesticides can select for resistant insect populations, cancer treatments often select for drug-resistant cells, posing a major hurdle for effective, long-term management in both fields. By translating IPM&rsquo;s ten principles of resistance management into oncology, researchers have provided new insights for controlling cancer. For cancer treatments, they suggest a paradigm shift towards adaptive therapy, where resistance is managed, not simply reacted to, much like in pest control. The outputs of this transdisciplinary research engage key user groups, including pest managers, medical professionals, and clinical trial designers, with broad implications. By applying the best practices from IPM, the ultimate outcomes aim to increase progression-free survival and enhance the quality of life for cancer patients. <em>Through research and extension, this novel IPM approach may influence both agriculture and healthcare, underscoring the vital need for collaborative, cross-sector solutions.</em> Two WERA-1017 participants and University of Arizona faculty, Peter Ellsworth and Dawn Gouge, participated in this long-term dialogue with cancer scientists, culminating in an article in the journal Cancer Research (Seyedi et al. 2024).</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>The Montana State University IPM program has participated in Pest Management Strategic Plans for Pulse Crops and Wheat in recent years. They participate in regional and national committees including WERA-97, WERA-1017, the NCIPMC&rsquo;s Pulse Crop Working Group, etc. to provide feedback to agencies. They are actively involved with the Northern Plains Weed Management Symposium and the Great Plains Diagnostic Network and host the annual webinar series.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p><strong>Objective 3: Enhance collaboration, sharing of ideas, and creation of regional outputs such as multi-state grants and shared outreach materials.</strong></p><br /> <p>The following are examples of WERA 1017 associated collaborative activities:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cultivating Healthy Plants webinar series </span>is an IPM webinar series provided collaboratively by the Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana IPM programs. The target audience is green industry professionals, master gardeners, and the general public. Eight webinars were provided this past year to a total of 2,182 live viewers (48% increase over the previous year), with 1,285 views of the recordings; 98% reported improved knowledge as a result of attendance, and 90% intend to use at least one of the recommended IPM strategies. The group is also working on a central place to house the webinar series and associated content. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CultivatingHealthyPlants">https://www.youtube.com/@CultivatingHealthyPlants</a> and <a href="https://www.cultivatinghealthyplants.org/">https://www.cultivatinghealthyplants.org/</a></li><br /> <li>Colorado State University IPM Team participates in regional activities in collaboration with Kansas State University and University of Nebraska to advance IPM implementation in wheat. These collaborations have resulted in leveraging grant funds and Extension/outreach publications and events across the regions. Beyond the state&rsquo;s involvement in WERA 1017, they are also involved in NCERA 224, a multi-state working group focused on IPM of ornamental crops, and S1084 a multi-state working group focused on hemp pest suppression.</li><br /> <li>The University of Idaho IPM program is leading the revision of the Pest Management Strategic Plan for Western Sugar Beets, which has been a key step in providing growers and policymakers across the West, and at the national level, with important updated information on the pest management practices and challenges of growers across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado.</li><br /> <li>University of Idaho is working with regional and national collaborators to conduct a needs assessment survey for wildlife damage management. This survey, co-led by emeritus faculty Ronda Hirnyck worked with members of the National Pesticide Safety Education Center to gather data from all 50 states, collating data from 99 experts in the Western region alone.</li><br /> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Reducing Pesticide Risk in U.S. Cotton Production </span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>WERA-1017 has a long history of facilitating discussion and sharing of research and outreach on the topic of reduced-risk IPM. For several years, Paul Jepson of Oregon State University (now retired) convened the group around topics of reducing pesticide risks through the reduction or elimination of highly hazardous pesticides from IPM programs. This led to ongoing research and outreach collaborations between OSU and University of Arizona examining the reduction in risk related to pesticide use in lettuce production over two decades and culminated in a Pesticide Risk Management Signature Program of the Western IPM Center. &nbsp;</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Collaborations to Support Growers and Community IPM Across Western States</span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>Two new regional collaborations were proposed and integrated into state applications for USDA-NIFA-CPPM Extension Implementation Program funding: (1) a multistate community IPM needs assessment led by Arizona and (2) a multistate effort led by Utah State University to develop training resources for Extension IPM and Pesticide Safety Education Program personnel that will support growers as they adapt to new pesticide use mitigations related to the Endangered Species Act. These collaborations involve University of Arizona, Utah State University, Oregon State University, and others. These collaborations, facilitated through WERA-1017 interactions, help extend the reach and impact of our work as individual Land Grant institutions and minimize duplication of effort.</p><br /> <p><strong>Objective 4: Improve coordination of IPM research and outreach programs that address on-going, emerging, and other critical pest and related environmental issues.</strong></p><br /> <p>The work of WERA-1017 is important because it brings together IPM Coordinators who manage independent IPM programs from many states. While all programs receive some base funding from USDA-NIFA&rsquo;s Extension Implementation Program (EIP), programs have different organizational structures and address unique IPM priorities specific to each state. The opportunity to share information, ideas, resources, and outcomes helps to invigorate and inspire individual state programs which, without this Regional Coordinating Committee, would be operating largely in isolation. Our report has provided examples of WERA-1017 interactions that have inspired collaborative research and outreach projects which have strengthened the programs of all participating states. Common issues impact us all: invasive species, pesticide resistance, fostering adoption of IPM and documenting its impact. These annual meetings and resultant collaborations make us more than a scattered and disconnected collection of Extension IPM Programs; they facilitate a vibrant network that is vitally important to the continuity and impact of regional and national IPM outcomes. This network is of particular importance because it allows veteran IPM personnel with long-standing programs and experience to support incoming IPM Coordinators, who often have little if any information from their own institutions about how to build effective, state-based IPM programs.</p><br /> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Plans for the coming year</span>: Some members of WERA-1017 as well as Western IPM Center staff attended the 2024 National IPM Coordinating Committee meeting in Washington, D.C. They have committed to putting together a series of written works that will document what an IPM Coordinator is and does and how this influences the development of state IPM programs. This will serve both as onboarding information for new IPM Coordinators and as a means for IPM Coordinators to educate their own university administration about their role and function supporting state IPM while maintaining connections to a federal network and addressing federal priorities.</p>

Impact Statements

1. Twenty years ago, West Nile virus (WNV) transmission started in Wyoming. Since then, the state has had multiple counties with high incidence rates of the serious neuroinvasive form of the disease (See https://www.cdc.gov/westnile/statsmaps/historic-data.html ). An 8-hour "Introduction to Mosquito Control and Identification" training program held in Laramie for 22 people from abatement districts around Wyoming on May 29-30th, 2024. This summer Wyoming had a very low incidence of reported serious cases of West Nile virus in humans. Although it cannot be attributed solely to the efforts of the attendees of the training, if the information gleaned from the mosquito IPM course by the attendees prevented just one serious case of West Nile virus it made an impact.
2. The wheat IPM group at Colorado State regularly interacts with wheat producers in the state (over 2,000 growers) and helps inform IPM practices over 2 million acres of wheat in the state. These recommendations include suppression of weeds, emerging diseases, and key arthropod pests of the crop. The recent economic analysis of wheat stem sawfly impact highlights the importance and value of integrated approaches to mitigate losses caused by the pest.
3. Oregon State University School IPM Program collaborations with Dawn Gouge, Public Health IPM Specialist at the University of Arizona Department of Entomology, led to an invitation by the IPM Institute of North America to serve as a panelist on a national webinar “Improving Environmental Health in Schools”, based on a journal article with the same name, reported last year.
4. Idaho Insect Identification Website users sought help on a wide variety of plants, including trees, flowering plants, fruits, vegetables, grasses and agronomic crops. This diversity of inquiries showcases the broad range of gardening and agricultural challenges users are facing. As of August 28, 2024, the Idaho Insect Identification Website has prevented users from making a total of 77 unnecessary pest control calls and 74 unnecessary pesticide treatments. These actions were based on users' original intentions as indicated by our surveys. The estimated savings from preventing pest control calls amount to $16,940, based on an average cost of $220 per service, as reported by Home Advisor in 2022. Additionally, preventing unnecessary pesticide treatments has saved an estimated $2,960, using an average cost of $40 for the purchase of pesticides, time, and equipment. Overall, these efforts have saved Idahoans a total of $19,900 while also protecting beneficial insects vital to the environment.
5. Problems with insecticide resistance and resistance to Bt cotton and corn in New Mexico increase the need for alternative controls. We have previously documented the impact of row spacing, row orientation, and plant spacing on crop microclimate and control of H. zea. One current project is examining the use of okra-leaf cotton to create a crop canopy that is less suitable for H. zea producing lower survival. Data to date indicate that okra-leaf cotton generally has less than half the hatch rate of H zea eggs exposed for only 48 hours. As resistance to Bt cotton becomes a greater issue, okra-leaf cotton can be considered a viable alternative to help control H. zea, as well as a new incoming pest H. armigera. This project provides growers with more tools for managing insect pests without added costs.
6. The Montana State University Urban Integrated Pest Management program partners with the MSU Master Gardener program to educate green industry professionals, extension field faculty, and Master Gardeners in IPM principles. Eighteen individuals are currently certified as IPM Professionals through the MSU IPM Certification program, and 100 individuals have attended online or in person courses toward certification.
7. New online course series prevents pesticide application runoff. University of California IPM develops online courses so people can learn about IPM and IPM practices wherever they are and whenever they learn best. Participants have more flexibility with online courses and can learn at their own pace. We anticipate this leads to greater IPM awareness, knowledge, and adoption of IPM practices. Adoption of IPM practices can result in long-term impacts such as promoting economic prosperity protecting California’s natural resources.
8. New video talent makes learning about IPM fun. These short videos produced by University of California IPM are presented from the viewpoint of Diego and put a fun spin to your typical Cooperative Extension how-to videos. We anticipate greater viewing because of the innovative format leading to increased knowledge and IPM practices adoption. The 10 videos individually last anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes. Being able to view one in less time than it takes you to floss also is anticipated to encourage viewing and learning.
9. Vegetable IPM Program Saves Growers Money While Protecting the Environment. The Vegetable IPM program at the University of Arizona has facilitated a shift in the industry from broad-spectrum insecticides in the 1990s and early 2000s to selective materials which pose fewer risks to people and the environment. For example, except for pyrethroids, broad spectrum and broadly toxic insecticides have been all but eliminated on head lettuce, where selective reduced risk materials now account for over 60% of all reported insecticide sprays. In a 2024 user survey of Vegetable IPM Update subscribers (n=51), 87% said they made management decisions based on recommendations from the team; 89% have reduced their reliance on broadly toxic pesticides; 89% said their economic returns have improved either “greatly” (30%) or “somewhat” (59%) and 79% agreed that the Arizona fresh produce industry has adopted reduced risk practices because of the UArizona Vegetable IPM Team’s activities. Based on a prior survey, adoption of reduced-risk IPM strategies saved average grower operations an estimated $480k to $1.5mil annually in insect management costs.
10. Public Health IPM and School IPM Programs Impact Indigenous Communities. Since its inception in 2018, the Public Health IPM team at University of Arizona formed partnerships with 17 of Arizona’s 22 federally recognized Native American Nations and has reached nearly 250,000 tribal residents with IPM and food safety information. At least five tribes have implemented or are in the process of adopting IPM in their vector control programs, which will improve human health, reduce risk associated with vectors, and protect over 24,300 residents from the vector-borne diseases. Participating environmental managers have reported economic savings because of our vector management trainings, ranging from $18,000 to $26,764 for two different tribes. Through leveraged funding, a partnership between University of Arizona and the Tohono O’odham Nation veterinary and community health professionals, over 5,000 animals have been vaccinated and treated with tick preventatives, reducing transmission potential of RMSF. In an evaluation from the 2022 National IPM Training for Tribal Communities, 90% of participants agreed that the training increased their knowledge about food safety and microorganism pests.
11. Nevada’s population is growing significantly, particularly in urban regions. Pesticide residue in waterways, especially from products used for nonagricultural purposes, underscores the need for education among landscape professionals, pesticide applicators, and residents controlling pests in urban areas. Over the last decade, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension has developed integrated pest management (IPM) education that has led to a substantial reduction in pesticide residues detected in urban sites across Nevada. Programs have included a bilingual training program for Spanish-speaking landscapers and their supervisors and a noxious weed training curriculum. Through IPM, Extension has brought attention to the challenges faced by Nevada’s diminishing waterways, emphasizing pesticide-free, alternative landscape management practices. The program has fostered intercultural appreciation and language diversity by introducing bilingual materials, specifically catering to Nevada’s Hispanic residents and promoting English as a second language. In addition to its educational impact, the program has successfully expanded Extension’s partnerships with regional institutions and government agencies.
