State Reports Discussion of state cuts to IPM funding - Tom Fuchs CSREES update by Fitzner and Hoffman Reporting and Plan of Work by Hoffman
This IEG operates primarily as an information exchange among states, extension specialists and research faculty with input from the IEG going to the AES and CES directors as to success of and future directions for IPM programs in the region. Additionally, the group provides input to the USDA/CSREES program manager for IPM and the Director of the Southern Region PM Center. The annual meetings serve in information exchange for research and extension programs and as training for new state IPM coordinators and faculty dealing with IPM issues. Accomplishments from individual IPM state coordinators are reported through their respective PPRS reports.
- Cooperation and collaboration with the Southern Region Pest Management Center will be strengthened in order to develop regional IPM projects and facilitate implementation of IPM in the Southern region.
- The Southern Region IPM grants program will be improved by the IEG providing inputs to revisions of the RFA to insure priority areas are appropriate based upon critical needs of Region, such as those identified in Pest Management Strategic Plans.
