Non Technical Summary
New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service Goals for IPM are to highlight specific benefits of IPM, overcome perceived barriers, and increase adoption across stakeholder groups. Many stakeholder groups across NM are eager to learn and implement IPM practices. However, while there is some general appreciation for a more environmentally friendly approach to managing pests, particularly in northern NM, IPM is often misunderstood and sometimes used as a buzzword rather than understood as a discipline with specific recommendations that are the result of rigorous replicated trials. EIP funds will be critical to supporting our efforts to deliver IPM education and increase adoption across the state. The program priorities addressed include: 1. IPM for Agronomic and/or Specialty Crops (33%) 2. IPM for Communities (31%), 3. IPM for Pollinator Health (15%) 4. IPM for Pesticide Applicators (6%), and 5. IPM Support for Pest Diagnostic Facilities (15%). NMSU's EIP proposal addresses three focus areas highlighted in the IPM Road Map and the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) program, including 1. IPM for sustainable communities, 2. diversified IPM systems, 3. plant protection tactics and tools.

Project Methods
IPM Implementation in Agronomic and/or Specialty CropsSouthern Root Rot Nematode Vineyards Environmental monitoring devices will remotely gain real-time information and will be correlated with plant parasitic nematode population status. A decision support platform will then assist vineyard growers with the timing of their nematode management decisions, mitigating losses due to nematodes and preventing untimely and ineffective nematicide applications. The soil rhizosphere will be monitored weekly for SRKN nematodes (J2) at a commercial vineyard. Nematode abundance will be correlated with soil temperature, soil moisture, air temperature and Growing Degree Days (GDD). Weekly grapevine phenology will be documented with the assistance of the collaborating farmer and used in the correlation analysis. A weather station will be purchased and installed at the monitored vineyard and will be built as part of the ZiaMet network.Alternatives for Disease Control Our objective is to conduct on-farm demonstrations to increase farmer adoption of alternative controls for plant diseases. This will be accomplished by demonstrating on-farm efficacy of Bacillus-based and Trichoderma-based formulations and extracts from pecan byproducts and other botanical extracts on soilborne pathogens.Curly Top Chile The project plans to recruit County Extension Agents, growers, and crop consultants from four counties in New Mexico (Dona Ana, Luna, Valencia, Bernalillo) to collect beet leafhoppers sticky traps in commercial chile or tomato fields. Plant signatures from leafhopper guts will be identified using PCR and nucleic acid sequencing. Integration of producers, consultants, and County Extension Agents into the pipeline will transfer relevant information in a timely manner to those making IPM weed control decisions. This will produce better weed management and reduce insecticide use.IPM Implementation in Communities Including Housing and SchoolsIncreasing Awareness of Insects and IPM A primary goal of the Insect Collection at the NMSU Arthropod Museum is to educate and provide resources for New Mexico citizens about the importance of insects and other arthropods. To address our collection outreach/extension efforts we will conduct tours and workshops to reach in-person well over 10,000 New Mexican (and West Texas) citizens. EIP funding will be used to enable the museum to 1) take our material to invited educational events at K-12 (including families, etc) schools, science events, etc., 2) better host educational events on campus, and 3) maintain and improve educational materials used for outreach events.Biological Control Farms and Gardens To quantify and demonstrate the importance of biological control with master gardeners and county agents, we will collect their local predators and parasitoids and use sentinel eggs or beetles to quantify predation levels in their counties with master gardeners and/or county agents in at least 4 locations in New Mexico. Collection sites will include pollinator gardens in San Juan, Valencia, Roosevelt and Bernalillo counties. A report on key predators for each area will be given to master gardeners, and local county extension offices to demonstrate the local importance of biological control. Some predators collected by master gardeners will be used to create an insect collection of beneficial arthropods. Posters about the importance of biological control will be displayed in the pollinator gardens.Alternative Herbicides The goal of this project is to provide stakeholders with IPM-based solutions for environmentally safe and effective weed control.. Initial soil samples will be collected at the start and end of the project to determine if these alternatives negatively impact soils through repeated applications. To provide detailed recommendations we will compare application timing, method of application and number of applications as well as the alternative products.IPM for Pollinator HealthTo meet this goal, with continued expansion, reaching additional stakeholders, the first objective is for NMSU state specialists to conduct in-person pesticide workshops focusing on IPM and the responsible use of pesticides. These workshops will earn continuing education units through the New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) and participants will be able to renew their NMDA issued pesticide license. Workshops will also be conducted locally by county extension agents who invite specialists to speak. Each event is reliant on presentations and trainings with a focus on integrated pest management from a number of NMSU Extension State Specialists representing different disciplines and areas of expertise.The second objective is to expand and promote an On-Demand, NMSU Go-Global online pesticide program which allows for increased accessibility for those who live in rural areas and those who prefer a private setting on their own schedule. This program utilizes an on-demand platform where numerous Extension State Specialists record a presentation within their areas of expertise and are vetted and credited for use within the online program by NMDA pesticide compliance personnel.The third objective is to develop additional handouts, flyers and extension publications to further increase awareness and to promote the responsible use of pesticides and IPM practices.IPM Support for Pest Diagnostic FacilitiesStakeholders and county extension agents who submit pest samples will be provided with reports which include an accurate diagnosis or identification. Diagnostic clinic services will be expanded and improve with standard PCR-based assays. For standard PCR-based assays, samples submitted to the lab that require species level identification, will be tested using traditional means such as PCR-based testing and current PCR-based testing (including direct sequencing of PCR products) using new primer sets.For standard PCR-based assays, newer primer sets will be used to allow better discrimination, allowing determination of subspecies of strains detected in samples. The evaluation, validation, and adoption of updated primer sets and methodologies will increase accuracy of pathogen detection and attribution.In addressing the feasibility of deploying NGS-based diagnostics submitted samples will be evaluated using standard methods plus NGS analysis. NGS analysis will include extraction of total DNA for metagenome sequencing and PCR amplification of broad pathogen detection primers to generate microbiome panels that can be evaluated for the presence of pathogens.

How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results are diseminated to communties of interest in multiple ways. Some of our Extension efforts are what would be considered a classical approach with in-person presentations and field visits. As technology has developed we have taken advantage of new options to reach stakeholders. For example, our On-Demand pesticide applicator trainings which is available online, is extremely popular and provided CEU's for over 400 pesticide applicators. Master Gardner training is also frequently taughtonline. Webinars, videos, and podcasts are all available on IPM topics through various NMSU websites.

What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Priority I: IPM for Agronomic and/or Specialty Crops Goal: To increase adoption of several specific IPM strategies in major New Mexico crops. Parasitoids will be reared from collected alfalfa weevils and released multiple times on at least two farms. Produce an extension publication on bicontrol of alfalfa weevil and insecticides that do not impact beneficials. Determine which plants the beet leafhopper, vector of curly top virus, fed on prior to landing in a crop field. Provide growers and crop consultants initial information to identify which weeds need specific management for decreased curly top in crop production. This information will be disseminated to producers by consultants, extension specialists, extension personnel, and county agents. The laboratory phase will begin when traps are returned in June 2025. All five trials looking at biological agents have been established but will continue all summer with data collected then analyzed when the field season is complete in the fall 2025. Priority II: IPM for Communities Goal: To increase awareness of the beneficial role of insects and to offer alternatives to broad spectrum pesticides in three areas. Faculty and staff will continue to do presentations about biological control and are working on extension publications on alfalfa weevil biological control and the impact of Steward on beneficials in alfalfa. Work will continue on evaluating and illustrating the impact of predation on research and commercial farms in alfalfa, cotton and pecan. Four faculty entomologists' programs will present programs to increase understanding of insects in general and in IPM specifically. We are working in traditional extension settings in farmer's fields in commodity meetings, pesticide training sessions, in extension/outreach presentations in the Arthropod museum on campus and in pollinator/beneficials gardens. The weed specialist will continue to do numerous presentations presenting information on the efficacy of organic herbicide at NM conferences and farmers meetings including pesticide trainings, Think Tree NM, and the organic farming conference, Recommendation will be provided in classic extension settings including Master Gardner trainings, Southern New Mexico State Fair Ag Days, grower meetings and pesticide applicator trainings and IPM Workshops. Research trials are being established to determine if there is a negative impact on soil health and quality. Priority III: IPM for Pollinator Health Goal: To provide training, educational materials and experiences that promote adoption of pollinator health IPM strategies The method to characterize pollinators' sources of pollen developed in year 1 will be tested with native and non native pollinators. A technique to ID to subspecies will be developed. Education programs will be provided on pollinator health by 3 extension entomologists including a new hire who will be located at the NMSU ASC farm in Los Lunas with the EIP-funded Learning Garden. Tip cards will be developed and disseminated during extension presentations, including farm tours, garden walks, 4-H and FFA presentations. These include 23 tip cards on beneficials insects, insect eggs and common diseases Two of four pollinator gardens have been established, one in Las Vegas and one in Aztec. Both still need program support. We will work with county agents on prioritizing the next location. New gardens have been established in two locations one at the NMSU county extension office in Aztec and one at the National Wildlife Refuge in Las Vegas. Entomologists from NMSU or collaborators will do at least 4 presentations/garden walks to educate stakeholders about the importance of pollinators and beneficials. The project director has visited all these locations. Most of the work in 2025 will concentrate on the Learning Garden at the NMSU ASC in Los Lunas particularly since a new extension entomologist will be hired to work at that location. Priority IV: IPM for Pesticide Applicators Goal: To promote IPM strategies for controlling pests and the responsible use of pesticides by developing educational resources, conducting workshops and trainings. At least 4 in-person pesticide applicator workshops will be conducted that will be geographically spread throughout NM. The on-demand pesticide applicator training program will continue with new materials with at least 8 new videos about pesticide use and pest management. Extension publications will be developed addressing biological control of alfalfa weevil and selecting insecticides that are less harmful to beneficials. Publications will also be developed on IPM of weeds, and biological control of plant pathogens and other pathology topics. Tip cards on plant pathogens and pest management of insects will be published through extension publications. Spanish translations of 3 NMSU IPM publications will be published. Priority V: IPM Support for Pest Diagnostic Facilities Goal: To continue to provide up to date and accurate plant diagnostic services for stakeholders while expanding capabilities to identify pests with molecular tools. Insects and plant samples that are submitted to the diagnostic lab from county agents or the general public will be identified by staff entomologists, weed scientists, plant pathologists and nematologists. The characterization platform developed in 2024-2025 is being adapted to ID fungal and bacterial pathogen strains in plant tissue. This will complement culture based IDs but will be faster and enable detection of pathogens that are difficult to culture and infections with multiple pathogens.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Priority I: IPM for Agronomic and/or Specialty Crops Goal: To increase adoption of several specific IPM strategies in major New Mexico crops. One of the more exciting results is a high-resolution soil microbiome characterization platform. This allows us to characterize microbiomes and ID pathogens and microbial beneficials to species or even subspecies This information will be paired with yield and disease reduction data to determine disease suppression. Field surveys for Ditylenchus yielded a surprise, a new species of root-knot in NM: Meloidogyne arenaria. Two species of parasitoids of alfalfa weevil were released at two commercial farms in New Mexico. The following addressed IPM strategies in major New Mexico Crops: 5 referred publications, 4 Extension publication, 59 extension presentations, 12 research presentations, 2 conference presentations, 9 workshops, 4 field day presentations, 2 radio interviews, 1 press release. ThreeWERA meetings will be coordinated by our group. Demonstration/research trials with biological control agents for fungal pathogens are in place on four commercial and one research farm. Priority II: IPM for Communities Goal: To increase awareness of the beneficial role of insects and to offer alternatives to broad spectrum pesticides in three areas. The following addressed biological control: 78 extension presentations, 8 conference presentations, 4 newsletters, 5 webinars, 13 workshops, 2 field days, 29 social media posts, 7 extension publications, 5 extension/research reports, 2 refereed publications,11 field visits. Research conducted in 2024-2025 includes determining key predators and exact predation levels using sentinel eggs on commercial farms. Biological control by parasitoids andpredators is being monitored in multiple crops on research and commercial farms. Priority III: IPM for Pollinator Health Goal: To provide training, educational materials and experiences that promote adoption of pollinator health IPM strategies A method was developed to characterize sources of pollen and ID pollinators to species or even subspecies.This assay uses multiplexed primers that allow multiple insects per run. This work will find broad applications in pollinator health studies. New gardens have been established in Aztec, NM and in Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge. Gardenwalks to discuss IPM/pollinators and beneficials were conducted in both the new and well established gardens in 2024-2025. Two Field Days with garden tours wereconducted at the Learning Garden at the NMSU ASC at Los Lunas.Twenty sevenvolunteer days included one on one mentoring by NMSU faculty or staff. There were 8 extension presentations, 8 extension publications, 1 research publication, 1 newsletter, 7videos, 8 webinars, 5 organized workshops, 2 field Days, 46 social media posts 3 videos and 3 webinars created. Priority IV: IPM for Pesticide Applicators Goal: To promote IPM strategies for controlling pests and the responsible use of pesticides by developing educational resources, conducting workshops and trainings. Four in-person workshops were conducted throughout the state from Oct 2004-May 2025 reaching over 250 applicators. The popular New Mexico Pesticide Safety Education and Applicator Trainings on demand program reached at least 402 individuals who have aNMDA issued pesticide license. With five CEU's credited through NMDA per workshop, the in-person and on-demand programs delivered 3250 continuing education units (hours) of pesticide safety related training to New Mexico stakeholders. This program providedrecertification of 650 current pesticide applicators with an average annual salary of $42,089. In this way this program added or maintained over $27M to New Mexico's economy Five extension publications were produced to inform pesticide applicators. Priority V: IPM Support for Pest Diagnostic Facilities Goal: To continue to provide up to date and accurate plant diagnostic services for stakeholders while expanding capabilities to identify pests with molecular tools. Formal submissions through the Plant Diagnostic Clinic included 930 plant/insect samples from producers, Cooperative Extension Agents and the general public. The clinic also processed 277 plant samples for NMDA and USDA. Finally, faculty also identified over 600 more plants and insects that were not formally tracked. A high resolution soil microbiome characterization platform was developed by our molecular biologist for the diagnostic clinic. The clinic can now characterize microbiomes and ID pathogens and microbial beneficials to species or even subspecies level with this technique.
