What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Plan of Work for the Next Reporting Period (September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026) IPM Implementation in Agronomic and/or Specialty Crops (65% budget) Several Extension field days and meetings are scheduled for the next reporting period, including the Nebraska Extension Weed Management Field Day (June 25), Crop Production Clinics (Jan 2026), Corn and Soybean Clinics (February to March 2026), Soybean Management Field Days (August 2025 and 2026), and Dry Bean Day (June 2025 and 2026). The virtual IPM tour website will be enhanced using analytics, user feedback, and additional 3D content, including field trials and insect/weed injury identification, to better serve stakeholders in remote and underserved areas. Completion of a full 3D soybean plant model featuring various insect pest infestations and injury symptoms is underway. Multiple printed models will be distributed to Extension educators statewide. Due to strong interest from entomologists in other states, the model may be adapted to include region-specific pests to support broader outreach. More than 25 Extension publication are extended on various topics to provide IPM solutions to insect, disease, and weed issues across the agronomic and specialty crops throughout the state. About 20 peer-reviewed papers will be published by the team members during the next reporting period. IPM for Pollinator Health (20% budget) The 2024 Great Plains Master Beekeeping (GPMB) Fall Assessment survey identified Varroa mite control as beekeepers' top concern, followed by poor nutrition, pesticide exposure, and lack of training. In response, the 2025 program will prioritize improved mite management resources and diverse strategies for colony recovery. To strengthen beekeeper education, the UNL Bee Team will launch Bee College, a multi-day event offering beginner and advanced learning tracks. The beginner track will focus on cost-effective practices, while the advanced track will cover queen rearing and advanced recovery techniques. Planned outreach events also include the Pollinator Party, AppleJack Festival, and new educational initiatives such as the Bees, Butterflies, and Blooms art show and a Girl Scouts summer camp. Urban Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management (IPPM) outreach will include the public presentation Buzzing into Action: The Power of Nebraska's Insect Pollinators, along with multiple pollinator-focused talks, a habitat walk, and a presentation on wild bees. Extension educators are also working to modernize the Nebraska Pollinator Habitat Certification application, enabling online submission and payment. IPM Implementation in Communities including Housing and Schools (5% budget) Publish findings from the red clover mite protocol study and initiate a monitoring-only season. Provide tick education and training to summer camp counselors and collaborate with the Nebraska Tick Network to collect tick species and pathogen data. Print and distribute updated bed bug education materials, including brochures and identification cards. Offer advanced training sessions on household pests, including bed bugs, ants, and cockroaches. IPM Support for Pest Diagnostic Facilities (5% budget) Continue to provide rapid and accurate identification of arthropod pests and plant pathogens, and monitor for emerging threats. Publish an Extension book titled Grasshoppers of Nebraska, which will serve as a diagnostic guide to species identification, life stages, and potential damage, supporting informed IPM decision-making across the state. Program Evaluation and Impact Assessment (5% budget) The Project Director will collaborate with team members to develop evaluation tools, including a logic model and participant questionnaires, for Extension and outreach activities supported by this proposal. UNL's Bureau of Sociology Research will conduct post-event surveys to assess participants' adoption of promoted practices and measure medium-term outcomes.

The event attracted 150 attendees. 2025 Crop Production Clinics These one-day in-person Extension workshops were held at seven locations (Scottsbluff, North Platte, Kearney, Hastings, Beatrice, Norfolk, York) across Nebraska in January, attracting 800 participants, including crop consultants, applicators, agribusiness professionals, and growers. Presentations covered integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for disease, insect, and weed control, with a focus on reducing pesticide risks to human health and the environment. The clinics fulfilled pesticide license recertification requirements by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. Soybean Gall Midge Webinar: The 2024 webinar on soybean gall midge reached 248 participants across nine states, representing over 7 million soybean acres. Among 58 respondents, reported yield losses reached up to 30% due to gall midge infestations. Extension Presentations & Interviews: During the project's first year, team members delivered 131 in-person presentations at Extension events, industry seminars, professional society conferences, and other regional and national meetings. Western Nebraska Extension Programs: Late 2024 and early 2025 featured several in-person Extension events in western Nebraska, including Dry Bean Day, the High Plains Ag Lab Advisory Board Meeting, and the NE Sugar Beet Growers Association Meeting. Presentations focused on IPM strategies for insect and weed management in corn, dry beans, sugar beets, and alfalfa, reaching 245 individuals. Additionally, a virtual IPM tour website is in development, featuring interactive 3D field plot imagery with narration. Scheduled to launch in June 2025. A poster "Nebraska Extension Implementation Program" was presented at the International IPM Conference held in San Diego in February 2025 and the progress of the project was discussed in NCERA222 meeting. These combined efforts have significantly increased stakeholder access to timely, research-based IPM information, promoting informed decision-making to enhance crop productivity, economic returns, and environmental stewardship across Nebraska and beyond. 3D Printing Educational Tools: With support from Nebraska Extension Implementation Program, 215 soybean gall midge identification keychains were 3D printed and distributed to clientele across Nebraska to aid in pest recognition and outreach. Significant progress has been made in developing a 3D soybean plant model. Completion of the 3D plant model is expected within the next month, which involves creating magnetic insect models and injury symptoms. These components will be attachable to the plant model using small magnets, allowing for flexible, hands-on demonstrations of insect infestations and associated damage. IPM for Pollinator Health (20% budget) Accomplishments: Great Plains Master Beekeeping Program (GPMB) and Train-the-Trainer Efforts: The GPMB program supports over 4,000 beekeepers across the Great Plains and Midwest, offering educational materials developed by the UNL Bee Lab and partners. These include lectures, videos, hands-on activities, and guides to improve hive management. As of April 2025, the program has 14 association partners and 4,943 members, with over 2,300 active participants. Most members are based in Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas. The program includes 4,800 Apprentice-level beekeepers, with eight new training modules planned for 2025. Extension presentations and targeted deliverables for beekeepers: Several targeted presentations and Extension articles were developed to support pollinator education. Notably, "Creating Impactful Pollinator Habitats" was presented at the Douglas County Extension Office, and Co-PI Jody Green authored a youth-focused article on pollinator habitat for Nebraska Game and Parks. Co-PI Judy Wu-Smart delivered 20 invited presentations--7 scientific seminars and 13 industry lectures, hosted by 15 organizations across 13 states, reaching approximately 1,287 attendees through 28 hours of educational content.
