What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Training workshops were offered each year over the duration of the Lawn Care IPM Training for Master Gardener's project. Over the three years of this grant 12 workshops were held involving 380 participants. Delivery of lawn care IPM workshop regionally to hundreds of Master Gardeners and CCE educators, who then direct their own educational efforts to residents of New York. IPM resources contribute to the success of training our stakeholders, by complimenting the classroom and demonstration time with take-away information that can serve to reinforce IPM principles and practice. In the Expanding the use of IPM tools in the New York State Christmas tree industry project: Six on-farm Open Houses were held throughout New York State (Long Island, Hudson Valley, North country, Southern Tier, Central NY, Capital District) reaching approximately 100 Christmas tree growers. Participating growers and Extension educators presented information on the IPM techniques they learned and implemented. In the Development and presentation of greenhouse IPM training modules project, 20 IPM In-depth programs were held from 2009-2013 throughout NY State. Five additional programs were held on the Cornell campus during the same period. There were 309 attendees around the state and 125 on campus. Collaboration with other states, regions and local groups and teambuilding to develop IPM campaigns and project for IPM in Housing - IPM in housing focused heavily on the issue of bed bug infestations. Audiences were variable, since all types of people and professions have been affected by bed bug outbreaks. NYSIPM staff gave 47 presentations and workshops to approximately 3,260 participants during the 3 years of this EIPM grant. Increase IPM Awareness and competency for residents, housing providers and PMPs: Approximately 1,000 people attended 21 training events during the 3 years of this EIPM grant. IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators The 4 Moodle modules created are available online to educate pesticide applicators. Golf Course Reduced Risk Management Three training sessions were conducted on chemical reduction techniques annually for personnel at 29 State park golf courses. Implementation in Schools Promote the Adoption of Verifiable IPM in Schools / On-site Assessment of School IPM Programs: 22 training events were held. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Master Gardeners influence the lawn care decisions of thousands of New Yorkers. Training workshops designed to improve the confidence and knowledge of Master Gardeners and CCE Educators were offered throughout the state. The publication “Lawn Care without Pesticides” was a focal point of training workshops. Results of resource development have been disseminated through Communities of Interest through workshops, trainings and promotion of materials recently added to the internet. In the Expanding the use of IPM tools in the New York State Christmas tree industry project, the Open houses provided dissemination opportunities. In the Development and presentation of greenhouse IPM training modules project, Handouts provided to participants for each module and to participating Extension educators. Numerous IPM Resources were developed and promoted to Audiences Associated with Housing via workshops & online. Increase IPM Awareness and competency for residents, housing providers and PMPs: 9 workshops were conducted. IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators 4 Moodle modules were created and are available online to educate pesticide applicators. Golf Course Reduced Risk Management Training courses and individual support via phone, email and site visits. The Interactive Plant Manager is available online. The book, IPM for Wasps and Bees, can be purchased via online sites. -The Guidelines for Prevention and Management of Bed Bugs in Shelters and Group Homes was viewed over 100,000 times, and 2,000 hard copies were printed and disseminated (1,200 by NEIPM Center and 800 for Nassau County Dept. of Health). What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
Consumer /Urban: Online resources Consumer/urban audiences can be most easily reached through websites and other mass media outlets, so we developed and updated many online resources that were visited over 3 million times during the 3 years of this EIPM project. Grubs in Your Lawn? and The Most Common Pest Problems in Organic Vegetable Production are popular examples of our resources. Specialty Crops: Sweet corn pheromone trap network Traps were deployed at a total of 39 locations across the state each season and monitored by a network of cooperators who reported trap catches each week from mid-May through the end of September. Reports of catch numbers, along with scouting and threshold information, were shared with growers via a blog-based web site (78 subscribers), and through the newsletters of two regional vegetable programs (approximately 780 subscribers grow sweet corn). Online vegetable guidelines The online Cornell Guidelines for Commercial Vegetable Production were updated each year to reflect changes made in the print version and link to new resources that became available. When statistics were last available, the guidelines were getting 300,000 hits per year. Late blight model on NEWA The late blight models for potato and tomato on the Network for Environmental and Weather Applications (NEWA) web site were upgraded in 2012 to incorporate a new disease forecast model (Simcast, developed by Dr. Bill Fry) and forecast weather data. Statistics for individual forecast pages are not available, but page views for all the disease and insect forecast pages on NEWA totaled 43,417 in 2012 and 64,973 in 2013. Of the 12 growers who participated in the Expanding the use of IPM tools in the New York State Christmas tree industry project: -Each implemented 1-3 new IPM procedures on their farm -Four reduced the number of pesticide applications they made -At least four improved their scouting efficiency -At least 3 improved their ability to identify pests In the Development and presentation of greenhouse IPM training modules project, 12 modules were created and presented. 57% of growers who had attended a previous program had changed practices on their farms. From open-ended questions, 36% added or increased biocontrol, 27% improved scouting practices, 19% added IPM procedures to their pest management system, and 10% improved sanitation in their greenhouses. In the Development of outreach materials and systems project: -The methods listed above have begun the intended improvement in methods of reaching growers, educators, and other industry personnel. -The email updates have been very successful at generating comments and interaction from growers. -The blog, Twitter feed and list serves are integrated and allow updates to the industry. In the Alternative weed management in tree nurseries project: While the initial results suggested that the cover crops had some beneficial effects on weed populations, it has been difficult to repeat the results. Funding and labor availability at the Saratoga Tree Nursery have been limiting. Weed pressure in the test plots was variable in 2011 and 2012. In the Evaluating predaceous mite release methods for biocontrol of thrips on greenhouse ornamental crops project: Two tests of the technique were completed. However, the quality of the Cucumeris mites purchased was very low and the results were inconclusive. The industry has moved away from using the breeder piles but dispersal is still a topic of interest. We will continue these tests. IPM in Housing Resources developed for housing were accessed nearly 1 million times by users of print and online media plus live audiences. Reprints – about 155,000 Online views – more than 800,000 YouTube views – 556 Live Audience - 400 Collaborations with various groups in New York and in the northeast were initiated and are ongoing. The groups include New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Nassau County Bed Bug Task Force, the Sustainable Landscape IPM Working Group for the Northeast IPM Center, Scott’s MiracleGro, and the New York State Healthy Homes Strategic Planning Workgroup. Activities included workshops, submission of grant proposals, local bedbug management training, development of a website, and conducting surveys of residents about awareness of bedbugs. One survey of 75 participants from June 2012 showed the following: 93% said they learned something; twice as many respondents said they encountered bed bugs in the workplace than at home; 39% said they would seek more information about bed bugs; 48% said they would inspect their clothing before returning home; 74% said they would use precautions when travelling; 54% said they would inspect their homes regularly; 43% said they would avoid used furniture. A variety of needs were expressed in the survey, including the need for lower cost extermination methods, more awareness and more legal aid. In addition, NYSIPM staff used social media tools, such as a Facebook page and Twitter account, to promote IPM concepts and practices to facilitate contact with the public and increase IPM awareness and competency for residents, housing providers and pest management professionals. NYSIPM Staff have appeared in local and national media reports about hot-topic issues, such as bed bugs, stink bugs and mosquitoes. IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators One course on weed suppressive groundcovers and three courses on bed bug IPM were completed. Each qualifies for pesticide applicator recertification credits in NY and 9 other Northeastern states. Golf Course Reduced Risk Management A manual on Chemical Reduction for golf courses was disseminated. Several hundred golf course personnel were trained in chemical reduction techniques. Personnel from 29 State Park golf courses were trained intensively annually, and were supported throughout the growing seasons. Their courses were also analyzed for Environmental Impact, annually. Park Playfield A 10 acre playfield, used by 3 million visitors annually, was managed in an “eco-friendly” manner. Park staff were trained. IPM Implementation in Schools School IPM Collaborations NYSIPM worked with the following groups on School IPM: US EPA. US Building and Grounds Superintendents, New York State Building and Grounds Superintendents, Northeastern IPM Center School IPM Work Group, LEED, County Cooperative Extension Associations, IPM Institute of North America, and County Boards of Cooperative Educational Services. School IPM Training Events Over 1,000 people learned about implementing school IPM practices at 22 training events from 2010-2013. Verification of IPM in schools IPM STAR certifications were completed and submitted for four school districts. School IPM demonstrations Demonstrations of IPM techniques on school sites included: a yellow jacket trapping demonstration project at composting dumpsters at 2 schools. School IPM Survey A school IPM survey was developed. NYSIPM partnered with the NYS Department of Health and the Statewide Superintendents of Buildings and Grounds Association for development and distribution. Over 130 school districts provided completed surveys. Results are being analyzed and will help direct future IPM programming.

Impacts
1. IPM Coordination - The EIQ is being used by colleagues on 5 continents. There have been nearly 300 EIQ citations in journals. EIQ is used by farmers, consultants and grounds crews to choose least-toxic treatments. 10,000 printed copies of the original paper were distributed and the on-line hits average over 10,000 per year. EIQ theory and practice is used in many university classrooms and in training by federal and state regulatory agencies and nonprofits. An online calculator makes it easy to calculate field-use EIQs and convert across measurement units. 2. IPM Training for Consumer/Urban Environments- The most popular section of our website, "what's bugging you", was viewed over 184,000 times last year. 3. IPM for Specialty Crops a. Vegetables - Sweet corn trap network Traps for pests of sweet corn, peppers, and processing snap beans are deployed at 34 locations. Growers receiving trap catch information were twice as likely to use thresholds, 60% more likely to scout, twice as likely to make and review a weed map, and 40% more likely to calibrate their sprayers annually. b. Ornamentals - In Greenhouse IPM training programs, 86% of attendees said they learned something that they intend to use. Of those who had attended previous IPM events (34%), the most common changes made were improved or increased scouting (24%), improved sanitation (18%), biocontrol (9%), IPM practices (9%), better management of pesticide applications (9%), paying more attention and being proactive (6%), and increased use of IPM practices (6%). The 11 growers participating in the Christmas tree project in 2011 scouted an additional 107 hours and identified 26 disease and insect pests. Some reduced pesticide application due to spot treatments. Growers increased record keeping, knowledge on weed management, knowledge based on soil tests, implementation of IPM. One grower tested clover as a cover crop. 4. IPM Training and Implementation in Housing -500 housing providers/managers have higher awareness of how to spot, prevent and manage bed bugs. Over 315 health care providers are aware of ways to be safe from bed bugs. Over 760 pest management professionals learned better bed bug management. 5. IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators - Outcomes expected in year 3. 6. IPM on Recreational Lands - Golf Course Reduced Risk Management long-term research site resulted in environmental impact being cut by up to 93%; NY turfgrass managers are aware of the EIQ, and how to decrease the risk of pesticide resistance by understanding FRAC, IRAC, and HRAC codes that are now available in the Turfgrass guidelines. Managers have access to IPM solutions for stinging insects in the newly published wasp and bee IPM book. 7. IPM Training and Implementation in Schools - Participant evaluations from school IPM outreach workshops indicated that 40% "greatly" improved and 48% "somewhat" improved their pest management knowledge as the result of the workshops. The participants listed 18 different practices that they plan to implement or change with the most frequently mentioned being overseeding, mowing height, record keeping, stakeholder communication, irrigation, and IPM policy development.
