What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?
Nothing Reported
How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Our distribution and release of a parasitoid has been so effective managing the target pest there is no need to apply pesticides for their management and this little interest by our stakeholders. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We will evaluate the use of two new predatory beetles for managing exotic whiteflies in the landscape. We will use a combination of field releases and or banker plants to establish these beetles in infesteed landscapes. We will also train local homeowners and pest control operators on how to implement IPM programs in the landscape. This will be a series of 3 courses on Palm Beach Island starting in February 2018.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
We demonstrated that an insect pathogen and insect growther regulator can be used in conjuction to manage an invasive whitefly species in the landscape.

Outputs Target Audience:Extension agents and pest managment companies. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?One In-service training was held to train extension agents.We involved extension agents for surveying whitefly species in other parts of Florida. In the second half of 2016, we spent about six weeks in organizing an in-service training and preparing whitefly extension mini kits and pictorial manuals. In-service training and pictorial manuals provide information on the most prevalent whitefly species and natural enemies and any potential upcoming invaders in Florida. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Continue to evaluate biological control tactics for the management of invasive whitefly species. We will publish PowerPoint presentations that can be used for educational purposes. They will be in Spanish and English. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Continue to evaluate biological control tactics for the managment of invasive whitefly species. We will publish PowerPoint presentaions that can be used for educational purposes. They will be in Spanish and English.
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
I joined this project late but will report work done that address the goals of this project.have just become part of this project.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Hosted 4 visiting foreign scholars in my lab in 2014; from Mexico, Pakistan, and China (2).The outcome is that these scholars are being trained in techniques that they can transfer to their countries. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Made 12 presentations to user groups in 2014 (260 + people) What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? I have many outreach and research activities planned
Impacts What was accomplished under these goals?
Evaluated various insecticides against a range of pests of ornamental plants in Florida. These trials were reported on Arthropod Management Tests database. The outcome contributes to knowledge of pesticide efficacy. Successfully tested traps for invasive fly, Plecia neartctica at 2 locations. 768 volunteer hours contributed in this CRIS 2 research reports to chemical companies.
