Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

WERA1017 Objective 1:  Increase participants’ skills, knowledge, and awareness of regional/national IPM issues, systems, and strategies. 

Accomplishments

WERA1017 participants awareness of regional and national integrated pest management issues has increased due to participation in annual meetings. The virtual meeting held in the spring of 2020 highlighted western regional IPM issues along with in-depth research projects and programs. Reports were presented to the group for four USDA-NIFA ARDP projects (Applied Research and Development Program):  Using Crop Variety, Crop Diversification, Cover Crops, and Targeted Grazing to Chip Away at Multiple Herbicide Resistant Weeds; IPM Methods to Control Replant Disease of Tree Fruit; Integration of early harvest with biological control for sustainable alfalfa production and Fielding a strong defense: optimizing the effectiveness of pheromone-based lures for detection of invasive cerambycid beetles.  Project director reports that were presented from Arizona, California, Alaska, Guam, New Mexico, Idaho, and Wyoming and state reports focused on the strategies/research implemented by the group to address integrated pest management needs.  Members participated in numerous IPM associated meetings and conferences including but not limited to:

• Western Pesticide Risk Reduction Workgroup
• Western SARE annual meeting
• National Plant Diagnostic Network (Western and Great Plains Diagnostic Networks)
• State nursery and landscape association meetings
• Pest Management Strategic Plans (https://ipmdata.ipmcenters.org/source_list.cfm?sourcetypeid=4) and Crop Profiles (https://ipmdata.ipmcenters.org/source_list.cfm?sourcetypeid=3)
• Northcentral IPM Center Pulse Crop Working Group
• IR-4 Project
• Western Association of Agricultural Experiment Station Directors
• National IPM Coordinating Committee
• Professional society meetings: American Phytopathological Society, Weed Science Society of America, Entomological Society of America, Agronomy Society of America, Crop Science Society of America, etc.

Outcomes and Impacts

WERA1017 engagement allows members the opportunity to acquire knowledge from a diverse group of educators who all are focused on regional and national IPM issues. The collaborative model that the committee follows is based on allows for the dissemination of information to members. Outreach activities, research, and evaluation methods have all been shared with its members. Collaborative multistate projects multiply the benefits each state receives. Besides not replicating already existing programs, the collaborative model reduces individual state responsibilities while at the same time increasing the availability of outreach materials to multiple regions.

• The Western Pesticide Risk Reduction Group published  the Pesticide Risk-Reduction: An International Guideline  in The Lancet: Planetary Health in March 2020. This paper classifies 659 active ingredients based on their risks to humans and the environment, including including biomagnification and atmospheric ozone depletion and risks to aquatic life, terrestrial wildlife, and pollinators. 
• The Western Region IR-4 Project had 43 priority requests for the Food Use Workshop. At the food use workshop representatives from all the states prioritize products for residue and efficacy testing. All requests have an IPM-fit statement that is the result of consulting with IPM experts making the request.
• The Western Plant Diagnostic Network (WPDN) consists of ten western States and two U.S. territories in the Pacific. Land grant universities house the diagnostic labs.  The WPDN labs cover 26% of the US land area. Every sample is an opportunity to educate the public about IPM.

WERA1017 Objective 2:  Increase relevance of federal and regional IPM RFA’s, programs, and policies to better align them with regional stakeholder needs.

Accomplishments

The WERA 1017 annual meeting provided attendees the opportunity to be informed about federal and regional programs. Bob Nowierski, National Program Leader for Bio-Based Pest Management reported on NIFA programs. He gave a status report on the EIP, RCP and ARDP funding programs and the deadlines associated with them. He gave updates on new staff, new location and points of contact for plant protection and integrated pest management issues. Matt Bauer, Associate Director of the Western IPM center, presented on the programs of the center.

• IPM Summit, hosted by the Oregon IPM Center with over 50 faculty attending from various departments and programs. designed to bring together the different people and groups, including faculty and staff from extension and research, working in IPM at OSU. The primary goal of the summit was to identify goals, barriers, and needs for advancing IPM in Oregon
• Western SARE funded projects in 10 western states along with Guam, America Samoa and the Northern Marian Islands in 2019.

Outputs

• Discussions were held on the ramifications of NIFA transitions/staffing and how they will influence state programming.
• Western IPM Center funded 10 projects in 2019, from rodent and kochia work groups to research into codling moth mating disruption and bacterial blight in seed crops
• IPM Summit findings included the need for increased communication across faculty, increased resources (financial resources as well as IPM-related resources), professional capacity development in IPM for agricultural Extension faculty, and more tools and resources that support IPM decision making.
• There were 70 funded Western SARE projects and the release of the Fresh Growth podcast in 2019

WERA1017 Objective 3:  Enhance collaboration, sharing of ideas, and hence creation of regional outputs such as multi-state grants and shared outreach materials

Accomplishments

Multi-state collaborations have increased which has significantly improved shared outreach materials. Pest and weather models, surveys, production guides, webinars, and websites are all part of the regional outputs. Outreach materials have expanded reach due to the multi-state collaborations.
