Non Technical Summary
Pollinator Health (5%) efforts focus on portable displays, online courses, and webinars for Integrated Pest Management and pollinator protection. Education for Pesticide Applicators (18%) includes developing online recertification courses and updating training manuals, while IPM in Public Health (7%) seeks to expand the "Don't Get Ticked, New York" campaign. Each priority is allocated a specific percentage of resources for comprehensive implementation.

Goals / Objectives
The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program (which now includes the Pesticide Safety Education Program - PSEP) develops sustainable pest management strategies that minimize environmental, health, and economic risks for New York's 19 million residents. Since 1985, we've collaborated with stakeholders to provide science based IPM training and resources in urban and rural settings, including schools, parks, workplaces and more than 36,000 farms across New York State. NYSIPM contributes to the National IPM Roadmap, prioritizing human health, environmental protection, and cost-benefit analyses. The Program's objectives, under seven priority areas and twenty-seven projects, align with state stakeholder priorities, foster new and proven IPM techniques, and leverage existing funding, staff, collaborations, and infrastructure.Program Priorities include Implementation in Agronomic & Specialty Crops (54.25%), covering aspects like pest risk assessment, soil-borne insect IPM, certification programs, and monitoring networks for pests. Animal Agriculture (4%) initiatives involve surveys on the Asian Longhorn Tick and online guides for livestock IPM. Communities, Housing, and Schools (12%) programs adapt national models for promoting IPM in affordable housing and conducting in-person school workshops.Pollinator Health (5%) efforts focus on portable displays, online courses, and webinars for Integrated Pest Management and pollinator protection. Education for Pesticide Applicators (18%) includes developing online recertification courses and updating training manuals, while IPM in Public Health (7%) seeks to expand the "Don't Get Ticked, New York" campaign. Each priority is allocated a specific percentage of resources for comprehensive implementation. New Yorkers benefit from IPM's protection of land and water. For detailed accomplishments, refer to our Annual Report. Past reviews commend our ambitious plans, diversity, and the program's capacity to achieve objectives.

Project Methods
Coordination:1) stakeholder committee meetings as listed, 2) bi-monthly leadership meetings, 3) six full staff meetings, 4) frequent commodity team meetings, 5) quarterly reports from each staff member, and 6) communication with collaborators, stakeholders, and the public-at-large via newsletters, social media and in person. Results are shared through peer meetings, grower meetings, webinars, reports, our website, and eight NYSIPM blogs. Calixto and the three IPM associate directors and PSEP leader will be responsible for all steps of implementation, evaluation and reporting--resulting in high accountability for these funds.Program Area PrioritiesIPM Implementation in Agronomic and/or Specialty Crops (54.25%)Agronomic crops: Develop training and educational materials related to pest risk assessment/Create training and educational materials related to IPM of soil-borne insects/Develop the framework for a Field Crops IPM Certification Program Vegetables: Pheromone trap network that monitors lepidopterous pests/Vegetable IPM workshops for Spanish speakers/Updating summaries of biopesticide efficacy for vegetable pests/Assessing Alternatives to Herbicides Ornamentals: Demonstrating disease and weed management in Christmas tree production/Promotion of conservation biocontrol to growers and the public/Creation of a demonstration site for cut flower IPM at Cornell AgriTech Fruit: Statewide Orchard Pest Monitoring Network/Biopesticide Efficacy Information for Fruit/Spotted Lanternfly Outreach/Grape berry moth NEWA Modeling Digital Outreach and Development: Next-generation digital platforms including NYSIPM Website, real-time NYSIPM NEWA Platform, NYSIPM Help Desk, and advanced NYSIPM Digital Outreach and Impact Tracking SystemIPM Implementation in Animal Agriculture (4%)Survey the expansion of Asian Longhorn Tick (ALT) in NYS/Develop online livestock IPM guides for ALT /Develop and educational series on ALT for dairy and livestock educators and producers/Develop livestock species webpages on IPM for pests that affect swine, sheep and goatsIPM Implementation in Communities including Housing and Schools (12%)Adapt the national model for "Stop Pests in Housing" to promote IPM in affordable housing/Work with school partners to develop a series of five in-person school IPM workshopsIPM for Pollinator Health (5%)Develop a portable pollinator display/ Create an online course on Integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) for growers and pesticide applicators/Host an annual webinar on best practices for pollinator protection in citiesIPM Education for Pesticide Applicators (18%)Develop nine online recertification courses/Update certification training manualsIPM in Public Health (7%)Expand "Don't Get Ticked, New York" campaign.
