Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

[Below are a few highlights of accomplishments provided as State Reports. State Reports in their entirety are in the attached file under minutes.]

***Arizona –

 The Arizona Pest Management Center (APMC) encompasses and enhances the full set of University of Arizona research and Extension resources involved in the implementation of IPM in Arizona. Dr. Peter Ellsworth, State IPM Coordinator, directs the APMC in consultation with a multidisciplinary stakeholder advisory group. IPM Leadership Teams coordinate efforts in each of our major program areas, with dedicated Assistants in Extension (generally funded 50% through USDA-NIFA, EIP): Vegetable IPM, Agronomic Crops IPM, Community IPM, Pesticide Safety, Insect Diagnostics, and IPM Assessment.

 What’s new? In 2014 we hired Dr. Mike Wierda as Assistant in Extension who will coordinate the Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP), work with stakeholders to identify paths to sustainable funding, and interface with all IPM Teams, supporting IPM education of applicators. Mr. Gene Hall was also hired as an Assistant in Extension for Insect Diagnostics (50% through CE) at the University of Arizona Insect Collection. We recently established a pesticide diagnostic lab in Yuma with support from the AZ Iceberg Lettuce Research Council and other competitive resources. In 2014 the lab ran over 100 samples for growers.

 Selected Outcomes and Impacts

 ** Our IPM teams significantly leveraged resources to accomplish IPM program goals. This period marked one of the most successful in our history with productivity in grants hitting new highs for individuals and teams. Awards made in 2014 to our teams include a share of the $1M WIPMC grant to our Crop Pest Losses signature program (ca. $325K over 4-yrs), $856K to the APMC (EIP for 3-yrs), $250K Applied Research & Development Program (USDA-NIFA, ARDP) and $424K (Monsanto Insect Management Knowledge Program) for work by our cross-commodity team (2–3 yrs), $125K (ARDP) and $250K (EPA) for work by our Community IPM team (2 yrs), 4 recent WIPMC grants ($129,659), and 2 AZ Specialty Crops Block Grants ($200,159), just to name a few.

 ** Documenting Reduction in Pesticide Risk: In a collaborative project with Oregon State University, Integrated Plant Protection Center, we used the Pesticide Risk Mitigation Engine (ipmPRiME.org) to analyze lettuce pesticide use in Arizona lettuce, demonstrating that safety to aquatic & other organisms has been progressively and significantly improved by other 80% over the last 21 years.

 ** Summary of meetings: reached over 2,700 participants in 51 meetings, including licensed Pest Control Advisors (PCAs), growers, agricultural industry representatives, pesticide applicators, state and federal agencies and pesticide regulators, nursery and landscape industry, Master Gardeners, homeowners, public school staff, non-governmental organizations, pest management professionals, representatives from numerous tribes and tribal organizations, racial and ethnic minorities that work in agricultural and urban sectors. Our agricultural programs delivered 112 AZ Dept. of Ag CEUs, 41 CA Dept. of Pesticide Regulation CEUs, and 27.5 Certified Crop Advisor pest management CEUs. Our community IPM programs delivered over 50 CEUs of various types.

***California –

 Summary:

 Several retirements of key personnel (Joyce Strand and Mary Louise Flint) occurred in 2014 and new staff are continuing their great work. Three new IPM advisors, working on urban IPM, stone fruit and vertebrate solutions, have also joined our team. UC IPM’s YouTube channel has grown with the addition of both urban and agricultural pest management videos. We added two online training courses, one on IPM for child care centers and schools and the other on pesticide resistance. UC IPM facilitated the conversation to document the critical uses of chlorpyrifos in four key California crops: alfalfa, almond, citrus, and cotton. Using social media to connect with our urban audience continues with a new UC IPM blog, and efforts are growing to reach our agricultural audience by partnering with existing farm advisor blogs.

 Selected Outcomes and Impacts

 ** Clarifying the Agricultural Use of Chlorpyrifos: Identifying the most critical uses of chlorpyrifos in alfalfa, almond, citrus, and cotton can strengthen IPM in these crops. Chlorpyrifos is an effective insecticide used in California. Currently there are ongoing evaluations to assess potential human and environmental health risks. To equip California’s Department of Pesticide Regulation with a comprehensive understanding of chlorpyrifos use, UC IPM Advisor Peter Goodell and project coordinator Lori Berger convened leaders to gather input on chlorpyrifos use in relation to other pest management methods. Crop leaders include commodity group representatives, Cooperative Extension advisors and specialists, pest control advisers, and growers. The full report of these discussions is in Identifying and Managing Critical Uses of Chlorpyrifos Against Key Pests of Alfalfa, Almonds, Citrus and Cotton. Positive outcomes from this project include strengthened partnerships, IPM tools and trainings, and identified research gaps and policy issues.

 ** Advisors Team Up Against Exotic Pests: Exotic species add to a growing list of pests to manage in California crops. UC IPM Advisor Lucia Varela is working with local Cooperative Extension farm advisors to find best management practices for exotic species. Partnerships were instrumental in the work that lead to declaring European grapevine moth eradicated in 9 our of 10 California counties. Studies on the life cycle and timing of organic certified insecticides and strong outreach helped pest control advisers and growers make sound control decisions for Virginia creeper leafhopper. Vineyard defoliations seen in 2012 were avoided in 2014. To increase awareness of brown marmorated stink bug, Varela co-authored the UC IPM Pest Notes: Brown Marmorated Stink Bug and has teamed up to survey preferred host plants. Early detection will aid in developing a rapid response.

 ** New School and Child Care IPM Course: California requires that pest control companies providing services in schools and licensed child care centers comply with a series of laws called the Healthy Schools Act (HSA). IPM Advisor Andrew Sutherland and others from the Center for Environmental Research and Children’s Health, UC San Francisco, and Pestec IPM Providers developed the training Providing IPM Services in Schools and Child Care Settings. Available as a free online course, the module explains the history of the HAS and details what schools, child care centers, and pest control companies are required to do to follow the law. Continuing education units are available from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and the Structural Pest Control Board. The module was available for about 2 weeks in 2014. During that time 50 people learned about the HSA by taking the course.

 ** Urban and Community Program Shares through Social Media: In 2014 UC IPM’s Urban and Community Program stepped up its efforts to use social media for sharing educational information and products. In March, the blog Pests in the Urban Landscape (http://ucanr.edu/blogs/UCIPMurbanpests), was started to provide information about landscape, structural, home, and garden pests. Over a dozen videos were developed for the UC IPM YouTube channel. Many of the home and landscape videos have been translated into Spanish, which have been viewed more than 23,000 times. In 2014, our videos received over 80,000 views, with the most popular video Distinguishing Between Yellowjackets, Wasps, and Look-Alikes receiving 32,000 views. The Urban Program’s Twitter account, @ucipmurban, continues to gain more followers, with 840 in 2014.

***Colorado

** IPM IN AGRICULTURE

Wheat stem sawfly damage to winter wheat was detected in the state in 2012. Frank Peairs reports that the number of fields infested with larvae increased from 14 to 54% from 2012 to 2014. Perhaps more significantly, a larval infestation was found in Baca County, suggesting that this pest is capable of infesting wheat throughout eastern Colorado. Foliar insecticide treatments have been largely ineffective. However, preliminary results with soil-applied phorate indicate that this is a potentially useful alternative for managing this pest.  Biotype surveys for another wheat pest, Russian wheat aphid, suggest that, while undescribed biotypes can be found with relative ease in montane and prairie environments, Biotype RWA2 continues to dominate in Colorado wheat production. 

 Conservative estimates indicate that newly released dry bean varieties, with resistance to rust, white mold and other priority diseases, improve yield by 10 percent. Howard Schwartz reports that improved pest management strategies can also increase net returns to growers. With an estimated cost of $250,000 for salaries and operating costs of project participants from various sources, the Return on Investment is valued at more than 25 to 1.

 From 2010 to 2014, the Onion ipmPIPE project, coordinated by CSU, worked closely with state, regional, and national stakeholders and organizations. Onion crops were grown on 70,000 ha and valued at $860 million value ($43 million return), and garlic crops were grown on 12,000 ha and valued at $172 million value ($9 million return). The team emphasized IPM strategies, including selection of disease resistant varieties, planting clean seed, suitable crop rotation, scouting and confirmation of economic threats from disease organisms and insect pests, and timely application of pesticides as needed, and marketing of allium crops (onion and garlic).  With a conservative return estimate of 5% ($52 million or an annual Return on Investment of 50 to 1), this project significantly reduced losses from pest problems such as thrips and Iris yellow spot virus.  Additional savings include reduced numbers of pesticide applications when insect and disease pressures were estimated to be too low to warrant additional IPM action; however, data was not available on specific amounts of pesticide applied during this reporting period.

The IPM team responded to new insect and mite problems on vegetable crops. Whitney Crenshaw is developing management methods that minimize non-target impacts and/or are compatible with organic production. Paul Ode is looking at biological control of Pieris rapae, an important pest of crucifers. The San Luis Valley Research Center is evaluating improved potato cultivars. Researchers at the Orchard Mesa Research Center are evaluating the effects of alternative orchard floor management practices for organic and conventional fruit growers, and peach rootstocks on replant sites.

 In other research, the weed management team (Phil Westra, Scott Nissan and Todd Gaines) studies mechanisms of herbicide resistance, utilizing next-generation sequencing to study complex traits in weeds. Lou Bjostad is researching the biochemistry of the western corn rootworm, with objectives to isolate and identify compounds in maize roots that are repellent to western corn rootworm larvae and then evaluate potential applications of the repellent factors.

 **COMMUNITY IPM

The Colorado Extension Implementation Program (EIP) provided support for the Pest Diagnostic Facility and responded to new insect, mite and disease problems. Outreach efforts on Emerald Ash Borer continue. Cranshaw and Jacobi completed Insects and Diseases of Woody Plants in Colorado (Bulletin 506A ed., pp. 322 pp.).The urban IPM team conducted five workshops on vegetable IPM in 2014. Each 2-day workshop covered soils, composts & fertilizers, vegetable diseases, insect pests and beneficial insects, weed management, harvesting/post-harvest handling of vegetables and pesticide use. Audiences included underserved communities, regional partners in Wheatland, WY, Building Urban Farmers and Colorado Master Gardeners from the Front Range. The team is developing diagnostic videos and other educational materials to serve the Green Industry.  The school IPM team efforts resulted in an increase in the number of students attending schools implementing IPM, from 20% (2012) to more than 50% (2014). In the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Klett and his team are evaluating herbaceous annuals and perennials for growing in the Rocky Mountain and High Plains Region.

 **RANGELAND & FORESTS

George Beck and his team are investigating the role of herbicides in management of invasive species. Working with cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), Cynthia Brown and her team are evaluating biotic and abiotic mechanisms responsible for the establishment of invasive plants, and how their management affects ecosystem function.  Andrew Norton and Scott Nissen completed a chapter in the book Tamarisk: best management practices in Colorado watershed.

 Through these efforts, we expect the following outcomes: (1) Research leads to improved understanding and application of IPM;(2) New stakeholders participate in IPM projects; (3) Participants have improved access to technical materials and communication is improved, resulting in increased awareness of the benefits of IPM.

***Guam

 **Tomato Ageratum yellow vein virus

 In 2007, a disease with leaf curl, yellowing and stunting symptoms was reducing yield of tomatoes by 10% in northern Guam. By 2011 severe leaf curling and stunting was observed in more than half of Guam’s farms and some were experiencing a total loss of their tomato crops . Samples were sent to Agdia diagnostic company to be identified. Their genetic sequencing produced a 93% identity to Ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV). Due to the high level of sequence diversity found, it is likely that Guam has a unique strain of AYVV. Crop health screening for a panel of viruses showed only positive in the Begomovirus Group PCR test, but negative to many other common tomato virus in enzyme-linked immunsorbent assay (ELISA).

 In order to control AYVV, it was determined that identifying AYVV resistant varieties among commercial tomato cultivars suitable for Guam was necessary. Subsequently, during Guam’s wetseason (August 2014) farm trials were begun to compare 17 commercial tomato varieties for virus resistance and production suitability against the control variety ‘Season Red’. Partial analysis of field data, identified 12 varieties with virus resistance superior to ‘Season Red’ and 5 with inferior resistance. AYVV was detected in one superior variety and four of the inferior ones. When symptomless tomatoes were tested, only one of the 18 varieties were positive for AYVV. The top varieties from each field were selected and ranked by producers, which include ‘Olivia’, ‘Carmine’, ‘Affinity’, ‘Ornela’, and ‘Felicity’. These varieties were recommended for production on Guam based on their strong virus resistance, high yield and low levels of cracked and unmarketable fruits.

 ** Ironwood tree decline

Beginning in 2002, Dr. Robert Schlub began researching the cause or causes of Guam’s sick ironwood trees. Since then, researchers and specialists have traveled to Guam providing their expertise to address the decline of ironwood trees. In fall of 2013, a team of five specialists took part in an island survey on root and heart rot disease pathogens from forests of the Pacific Islands. Although termite activity was linked to the ironwood tree decline, it wasn’t until spring 2014 when experiments tested this hypothesis. During this time, students from Dr. Schlub’s Pest Management class successfully baited subterranean termites on ironwood tree roots, which is suggested to contribute to the complex factors behind ironwood tree decline.

 **Little fire ant

The little fire ant (LFA), Wasmannia auropunctata, was first found on Guam in 2011. Since then, LFA has been found in many villages throughout the island, which may indicate its presence on the island longer than originally thought. Currently, Dr. Ross Miller is in collaboration with the Guam Department of Agriculture in efforts to control LFA in selected sites around Guam. Control efforts involve multiple treatments of SiestaTM and TangoTM, over the course of over a year. Potential biological agents are being studied with USDA-ARS.

 ** Coconut rhinoceros beetle:

The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB), was first observed on Guam in 2007. Efforts to eradicate CRB using pheromone traps proved to be unsuccessful and populations of CRB spread throughout the island resulting in serious damage to coconut and other palm trees. Following the cessation of the pheromone traps for suppression, the use of fishnets for trapping CRB in compost piles was explored. The local tekken fishnet for trapping showed promise, with a 75 percent catch rate for CRB, according to Dr. Aubrey Moore.

***Hawaii

**Training for Consumers/Urban Environments

The UH EIP Program assisted in identifying appropriate IPM protocols when a new pest in the state, Oryctes rhinoceros (coconut rhinoceros beetle, CRB) was first detected in December 2013 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam on Oahu. In collaboration with USDA APHIS – Plant Pest Quarantine, Hawaii Department of Agriculture, University of Guam, Guam Department of Agriculture, local military personnel, and several other federal and state agencies, recommendations for treatment were developed. Treatments for infested palm trees included: 1) cutting and incineration of infested logs with an air curtain burner, 2) application of fine silica sand around palm tree crowns as an irritant to adult beetles at head-to-thorax articulation, and 3) installation of nylon netting around frond petioles in palm tree crowns to snare adult beetles entering or exiting feeding or breeding sites, which is being successfully implemented in Guam where CRB has been present since September 2007. Onyx Pro (bifenthrin) applied with synergist Exponent (piperonyl butoxide) was identified as the most effective pesticide on adult CRB.

**IPM Implementation for Specialty Crops

The UH EIP Program conducted interviews with growers and shippers to assess the status of recurring quarantine pests in ornamental plant production for export from Hawaii. Critical control points were identified from propagative field site to pre-shipment/transport and protocols specific to each pest were reviewed. IPM protocols were reviewed to resolve any unendorsed modifications that may have accounted for shipment interceptions/rejections with the use of on-site demonstrations and access to printed and web-based resources to aid in pest identification.

***Idaho

 IPM IN COMMUNITIES

Statewide outreach to homeowners about yard and garden IPM

**Our desired outcome is improved pest management practices in home yards and gardens among Idahoans statewide. Results from our 2011-2012 statewide homeowner surveys provide the necessary baseline data for 5-year follow-up surveys during 2016-2017 to quantify changes in IPM adoption. Programming during 2015 involved three activities with emphasis on enhancing the IPM knowledge and skills of our statewide Extension County Educators and their county Master Gardeners.

 **Idaho Green Thumbs How-To’s Home Landscape Fact Sheets Project

 The University of Idaho Extension Faculty Team in Commercial and Consumer Horticulture identified 50 topics as priorities for delivery as single-page, on-line and printed fact sheets. We created a new standardized publication series format -- the Idaho Green Thumbs How-To’s fact sheets -- and have written and posted on-line nine titles, six of which deal with management of diseases, insects or weeds (see photo below); we anticipate five more Green-Thumbs titles about landscape and garden pests during summer 2015. We have contracted with University of Idaho Educational Communications to translate these into Spanish. Experience suggests we will reach thousands of homeowners; two of our on-line Homeowner IPM Guides bulletin series (funded through our FY09 and FY10 NIFA E-IPM awards) are the #1 and #4 most-accessed publications in the Extension catalog with 85,000 unique IP downloads annually.

 **In-Service IPM Workshops for Extension Faculty and Master Gardeners

 Two multi-day events are scheduled for 2015: (1) July 2015 Master Gardener State Convention and (2) August 2015 In-Service Workshop.   Target audiences, general subject-matter and workshop format is similar to our 2014 workshops, reported last year at WERA1017 as follows:

 2014 In-Service Workshop. Thirty-two County Extension Educators from Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming participated in our 26-27 June 2014.   Speakers included Extension and Research faculty in Entomology, Plant Pathology and Pest Diagnostics from Colorado State University and Montana State University as well as from the University of Idaho who delivered 90-minute workshops supplemented with a field trip.   Pre:post tests to quantify short-term Logic Model outcomes showed that whereas >50% participants ranked their pre-workshop knowledge of pest identification, biology and management as “some-to-poor” (with <3% ranking their knowledge as “excellent”), 75% self-ranked their post-workshop knowledge as “excellent-to-good.”   Participants received an IPM “tool-kit” of reference texts, specimen curation supplies, and a Mini-Digital Microscope.

 2014 Master Gardener State Convention. One hundred thirty-five Master Gardeners and affiliated staff and students from Idaho, Montana and Wyoming participated in our 27-28 June 2014 convened at the Horticulture Gardens and adjoining greenhouses and orchards of Brigham Young University – Idaho.   Faculty from the University of Idaho, Montana State University and Colorado State University offered fifteen concurrent 50-minute hands-on small-group workshops; IPM subject-matter included plant disease diagnosis, IPM for landscape insects, and insect biocontrol.

IPM IMPLEMENTATION IN SPECIALTY CROPS

**Regional PestAlerts and IPM decision-tools for dry pea producers [Eigenbrode and Bechinski]

 Our desired outcomes are two-fold: (1) to increase farmer profitability via pest alerts and interactive IPM decision tools that identify economically optimal aphid:virus management strategies for dry peas in the Palouse agronomic region of northern Idaho and adjoining eastern Washington state, and (2) mitigate adverse environmental impacts of current aphid:virus control practices (esp. impacts on natural enemies) by replacing dimethoate insecticide applied as three seasonal foliar sprays with reduced-hazard seed-treatments of imidacloprid or thiamethoxam.

 We will begin during May 2015 seasonal operation of a network of aphid pan-traps (see photos below) strategically located at 20 commercial dry pea fields in a three-county area of Idaho and Washington; collaborators at Washington State University will use ELISA and PCR to determine the virus status (pea enation mosaic virus and bean leaf roll virus) of colonizing pea aphids and dry pea crops.

 **IPM IMPLEMENTATION IN AGRONOMIC CROPS

Wheat IPM MobileApps decision tools

** IPM EDUCATION FOR IDAHO PESTICIDE APPLICATORS

Pre-license pest management training for private and commercial applicators

***Montana

 The overall goals of the Montana State IPM program are to reduce health and environmental risks from pest management, improve IPM practices and increase IPM adoption. Montana is a large state with more than 145,000 square miles and that agriculture is the largest segment of the state economy with crop income at $2.3 billion in 2012, ahead of mining, gas & oil, and tourism. The urban population is also a large and growing constituency, with rural areas losing population. The overall goal is to develop and deliver information on IPM practices in Montana and provide readily available, up-to-date pest management information to stakeholders. We emphasize four core areas in our program (1) IPM Implementation in Agronomic Crops; (2) IPM Implementation in Communities; (3) IPM Support for Pest Diagnostic Facilities; and (4) IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators.

 Impacts and Accomplishments Achieved Under WERA-1017 Objectives

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

**Enhance collaboration, sharing of ideas, and hence creation of regional outputs such as multi-state grants and shared outreach materials.

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

**2014 Schutter Diagnostic Lab Impacts

The Schutter Lab receives samples for plant, plant disease, and insect identifications throughout Montana. Most samples are submitted by Montana State University Extension agents, homeowners, farmers, and commercial operators. The diagnostic staff includes Laurie Kerzicnik (Insect Diagnostician), Hilary Parkinson (Plant Identification Diagnostician), and Eva Grimme (Plant Disease Diagnostician). The majority of samples are received in May-September, but the lab is open to receive samples throughout the year. A total of 2104 identifications were conducted in 2014.  Preliminary estimate of the economic impact of the Schutter Diagnostic Lab in 2014 is $1.7 million over an area covering approximately half a million acres based on 170 responses to a survey. This is only direct economic impacts on samples.

***Nevada

 **Program overview

 The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) coordination program objectives included; 1) determination of priority IPM needs of stakeholders, 2) responding rapidly to new IPM issues, 3) reporting Nevada based IPM activities to NIFA, 4) providing responses to request for applicable IPM information requests, and 5) serving as an ongoing source of IPM program support for Nevada Extension faculty, State and Federal personnel. An overarching goal of this program is for all Extension faculty conducting pest management educational programs to include IPM techniques as the basis for pest management programs in Nevada.

The Nevada State IPM program was focused on increasing awareness and adoption of IPM techniques in four priority areas; 1) production agriculture, 2)consumer/urban environments, 3) pesticide applicators and 4) natural areas. In all cases the primary pest management problems we addressed was related to weeds. Weeds were the focus of our efforts as the results of numerous long term needs assessment efforts completed by our clientele have all indicated weed management as the top priority for Extension pest management programming. The latest needs assessment also indicated the top two priorities within the weed management program to be; 1) “weed management using chemicals and 2) weed management using other techniques”.

**Outcomes and Impacts

 *IPM Training for Urban/Consumer Environments

The primary accomplishment of the IPM training for Urban/Consumer Environments is the increased awareness of IPM principles and practices by Master Gardeners, Green Industry Professionals and the public through education programs and trainings. The individual educational programs resulted in 7,422 attendees being trained in face-to-face interactions at 69 educational events with 196 hours of instruction. Additional education programs geared towards the general public included Radio and TV Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and newspaper articles which provided both educational information on key IPM principles and also directed the public to our website, www.manageNVpests.info, for further information and educational materials. Creation of the website and broadcasts of the PSA's greatly increased our ability to educate the public, resulting doubling traffic to the website during broadcast periods.

 *IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators

The primary accomplishment of the IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators was the increased awareness of IPM principles and practices by Nevada Certified Pesticide Applicators accomplished through educational programs and trainings. These trainings were also integrated into other extension programing to encourage participation by pesticide applicators and to encourage IPM practices in all areas where pesticides are applied. Education for Pesticide Applicators was offered across a broad range of IPM programing statewide. A total of 14 workshops, classes or presentations with 78 hours of instruction were attended by 1,284 people with 49 continuing education credits offered to pesticide applicators. Pesticide applicators were directed to our www.manageNVpests.info website for further educational materials. Survey results indicate that participants were satisfied with the responsiveness of the program to their needs and indicated that they plan to integrate aspects of IPM discussed at the trainings into their pest management program.

 *IPM Implementation in Agronomic Crops

Agronomic crops are an important part of local economies in rural Nevada. Producers faced major challenges during this funding cycle due to severe drought conditions which stressed crops and make proper pest management programs more critical. The program instructors responded to this need by completing 18 workshops, presentations and classes across Nevada focused on crop management during drought conditions, including the role of IPM programs in a comprehensive drought management program. The events were attended by 489 individuals and evaluation surveys completed indicated increased knowledge gains and willingness to implement recommended practices. A program for beekeepers was started and workshops on IPM of bee pests were created and presented with 78 attendees. Literature is being developed for beekeepers and a beginning beekeeping course, with 44 attendees, was added to the "Grow Your Own" workshops a series of educational workshops to train small scale producers.

 *IPM in Recreational Lands

The recreational lands programs continued to offer educational trainings that are necessary for proper weed management on recreational lands that cover more than 80% of Nevada. Programing was offered statewide and in collaboration with Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Department of Agriculture, Nevada Department of Wildlife, U.S. Forest service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Pesticide Application Continuing Education credits were available during 5 major meetings of pest management professionals. A biological control publication that was updated during the previous funding cycle was published online and was presented in 3 workshops with 93 participants. We partnered with Nevada Department of Agriculture to create training for the weed mapping program EDDmapS as a continuation of the Early Detection and Rapid Response program developed in previous funding cycles. A fact sheet was published and 3 workshops were completed that discussed the advantages of using the software with 158 people attending. Our program responded to hundreds of requests for identification of weeds or insects and management information requests. A total of four workshops classes or presentations related to IPM on recreational lands were completed with 238 attendees. In addition, we surveyed all self-identified stakeholders using an online survey and post training surveys and will use the results to inform continuing educational efforts.

***New Mexico

**On-going annual activities of the New Mexico IPM program:

*Training in the general principles of IPM to approx. 350 Master Gardeners, approx. 200 certified pesticide applicators and approx. 150 school facilities managers. Additional training events address more specific concerns (e.g. management of pests associated with New Mexico fruit and vegetable crops (approx. 250 clients annually) and pest management in organic production systems (approx. 450 clients annually).

*Training in general entomology, plant pathology and weed management is also provided to several hundred Master Gardeners, pesticide applicators and the general public at various events throughout the year. Funding from the E-IPM program administered by USDA-NIFA helps support these events.

*The NMSU Plant Diagnostic Clinic provides diagnostic services that address plant pathogens, environmental stresses, insects, and weeds. Basic management recommendations are also provided, focusing on appropriate integrated control strategies. Clients include Extension personnel, crop consultants, conventional and organic farmers, retailers, landscape professionals, golf course managers, researchers, government agencies, and homeowners. More than 1000 insect samples and plant diseases/disorders are processed annually, as well as approx. 60-70 weed samples.

**Special projects conducted by the New Mexico IPM program in response to emerging issues:

*Monitoring and documentation of the spread of four species of Diorhabda beetles that have attacked salt cedar (Tamarix ramosissima) in different parts of New Mexico.

*Monitoring and documentation of the spread of spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) (SWD), which was first discovered in central New Mexico in August, 2013. In 2014, its presence was confirmed as far north as Rio Arriba County (near Santa Fe). A new research project to address the management of this pest in small-scale berry production systems was initiated in 2014.

*Monitoring and documentation of the spread of the exotic invasive stink bug, Bagrada hilaris, which was found for the first time in southern New Mexico in 2010 and which has since spread north and eastwards within the state. This seems to be becoming a more serious pest in New Mexico, especially in the south, where adults may be found at all times of the year. An on-going research program is in place to address the management of this pest in organic production systems.

*An active program of outreach and extension on pollinator protection and conservation, addressing the needs of both native bees and honeybees.

***Utah

 **Program Overview

The overarching goal of the Utah IPM Program at Utah State University is to increase the use of sustainable pest management practices in schools and on agricultural and urban lands in ways that provide economic benefit and human and environmental protection. The program works in three core areas: IPM in Communities (landscape horticulture), IPM in Specialty Crops (fruits and vegetables) and IPM in Schools, addressing IPM needs through research and outreach programs.

**Impacts and Accomplishments Achieved Under WERA-1017 Objectives

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

The Utah IPM Program personnel improved their skills, knowledge, and awareness of regional and national IPM issues and resources through participation in annual WERA-1017 meetings, application to regional (Western IPM Center) and national (USDA NIFA CPPM, AFRI, and SCRI) grant programs, and as team members of multi-state collaborative activities.

The Utah IPM Program delivered 22 pest advisory newsletters that highlighted current pest activity and IPM treatment options for fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants to a subscriber base of 7,500 unique individuals (up 25% from 2013). The Program also maintains an online decision aid tool called Utah TRAPs (Timing Resource and Alert for Pests, climate.usurf.usu.edu/traps). In fall 2014, a companion app for the TRAPs website was released. Subscribers of the advisories and users of the TRAPs tools were surveyed in fall 2014, with an 18% response rate. The majority of the respondents (87%) use TRAPs and the advisories as their main source of pest management information, and 100% plan to continue using them. Most (61%) considered themselves "Low IPM" practitioners, while 21% considered themselves "Medium IPM", and 4% "High IPM". Two years ago, 59% of those that ranked themselves as Medium or High would have ranked themselves lower. Also in the last 2 years, 42% have switched to softer pesticides, 50% apply a dormant spray, 44% have stopped using broad spectrum products, and 6% have implemented mating disruption.  

*In spring 2014, a comprehensive vegetable guide was published, written by 8 USU authors representing 4 disciplines. It contains 7 chapters and focuses on onion, sweet corn, and solanaceous crops (utahpests.usu.edu/ipm/htm/vegetables). The guide was distributed to 350 growers.

 *The Utah IPM Program coordinated and conducted 4 applied research projects in 2014. Results of applied research have led to increases in IPM practices, cost savings, and/or reductions in pesticide use.

**Enhance collaboration, sharing of ideas, and hence creations of regional outputs.

Utah State University, Colorado State University, and University of Idaho have collaborated since 2012 to write and maintain the Intermountain Tree Fruit Production Guide and companion website, intermountainfruit.org. In 2014, the guide was updated for the 2015 season. The guide is unique in that it presents reduced risk/organic products separate from conventional, and focuses on monitoring, cultural practices and using thresholds. Many users of the guide (48%) choose the “organic/reduced risk” pesticide recommendations, and 72% said they are more likely to adopt recommended IPM practices.

 Another collaborative effort is in school IPM. The focus of the activities in 2014—many times in collaboration with Colorado State University faculty—were to help Utah schools transition to IPM to meet the new IPM in schools state law. IPM implementation workshops trained more than 210 school personnel and applicators in 90% of public school districts and 38% of charter schools. In addition, 58 Utah Department of Health inspectors in 11 of the 12 districts received instruction on enforcing the IPM law. This intense training effort has helped a majority of Utah schools to adopt and implement sound IPM plans.

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

 The USU IPM Program has participated in the Western Region Small Farms-IPM Working Group since 2010. The overall aim of the group was to develop a regional network of effective small farm-IPM teams to better serve the diverse small-scale producers in each of the six member states. We conducted initial needs assessments and implemented on-farm IPM pilot projects and training programs. We found that reaching small-acreage producers was more challenging due to their high diversity of crops, livestock, and demographics; ‘hands-on’ participatory activities were more effective in reaching these diverse audiences; formation of small-acreage producer organizations in each state would improve contact; and a major constraint to small-acreage producers is lack of suitable pest management products in appropriate pack sizes (e.g., organic/low-risk chemicals, pheromone dispensers, pH buffers, etc.).

 USU IPM Program personnel participated in the Western Region Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) Planning Grant funded by USDA NIFA SCRI. Oregon State University is the lead institution with participants from CA, ID, OR, UT, and WA. Activities included state stakeholder needs assessments (surveys and roundtable discussions) and a planning meeting to be held in Portland, OR in April 2015 to educate representative state stakeholders on research progress and gather input to direct the development of a western region BMSB research and extension SCRI grant proposal.
