Introduction
  • In September 2000, USDA funded a nationwide
    pest management information network of four
    regional Integrated Pest Management Centers to
    ensure coordination of efforts and resources to
    enhance IPM development and adoption for
    production agriculture, natural resources,
    recreational environments, and residential and
    public sites.

3
Introduction
  • The 3-d PIAP funds were used to fund
  • this Section 406 competitive program.
  • Other 3-d programs of Water Quality
  • and Food Safety were moved to Section
  • 406 and became competitively funded.
  • Washington created a new program to
  • do coordination and leadership at the
  • regional level which Washington is
  • unable to efficiently do.

    groups. There are over 600 crop profiles
    completed and available on the IPM center website.

http//www.ncpmc.org
33
Pest Management Strategic Plans
  • Pest Management Strategic Plans are
    commodity-based documents that take a
    pest-by-pest approach to identifying current pest
    management practices (chemical and non-chemical).
    Each PMSP, developed by a coalition of
    scientists, crop consultants, industry
    representatives, commodity organizations, growers
    and others, focuses on production in a state or
    region, addressing needs and identifying
    priorities for research, regulatory activity, and
    education/training programs.

34
Pest Alerts
  • Pest Alerts, both regional and national,
    provide timely and accurate information on
    emerging pests thus allowing states to develop
    management programs.

35
Next Pest Alerts
  • Select Agents
  • Sudden oak death
  • Ralstonia solanacearum
  • potato/tomato
  • Greenhouse/geranium
  • Potato wart
  • Brown stripe downy mildew of corn

36
Crop Timelines
  • Crop Timelines provide current information on
    crop phenology, pest occurrence, and human
    activities in the crop. Crop timelines are also
    part of crop profiles and PMSPs.

GRANTS MANAGEMENT
  • The NC IPM Center manages several competitive
    grants programs. These programs address regional
    priorities, set by the Steering Committee and
    Advisory Committee with support from Working
    Groups, State Contacts, IPM Coordinators, and
    other stakeholders. Proposals are evaluated by
    external review panels and approved for funding
    by the Steering Committee.

43
Regional IPM Competitive Grants Program (RIPM)
  • Supports the continuum of research and
    extension efforts needed to increase the
    implementation of IPM methods by funding projects
    that develop individual pest management tactics,
    integrate individual tactics into an IPM system,
    and develop and implement extension and education
    programs.

44
Pest Management Alternatives Program (PMAP)
  • Supports development of replacement tactics
    and technologies for pesticides undergoing
    regulatory action where there are no effective
    registered alternatives. It funds short-term
    projects for technologies that show promise of
    adoption but require further demonstration and
    outreach.
