What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Hands-on training on corn insect pests was conducted at the 2013 Eastern Crop Scout School by Knodel, and IPM scouts ran pheromone traps (6 sites) to monitor for European corn borer in 2013. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Project findings were distributed through the NDSU Crop and Pest Report and extension bulletins via print and/or electronic mail list and extension websites, radio interviews, extension meetings, field days, and direct contact with agribusiness representatives and producers. IPM Trainings on Lepidoptera Pests ofCornwere conducted at the following extension meetings: NDSU / UM Commercial Pesticide Applicator Training at Fargo - Nov 27, 2012. Total audience = ≈ 350 people. 2013 Eastern Crop & Pest Management School, March 4-5, 2013, Fargo, ND. Total audience = >130 people. 2013 Western Crop & Pest Management School, February 26-27, 2013, Mandan, ND. Total audience = >125 people. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
The aim of this project is to increase knowledge of Integrated Pest Management strategies for control of European corn borer and other Lepidopteran insect pests. Some examples include: flight patterns of different voltine populations, degree day development, economic thresholds, insecticide recommendations, insecticide resistance management, use of Bt-corn. I am participating in only the extension component on desseminating information on sustainable management of Lepidopteran pests. Outreach information on Integrated Pest Management of European corn borer and other Lepidopteran pests of corn were disseminated to producers, extension agents, agribusiness representatives and crop consultants in North Dakota. Project findings were distributed through the NDSU Crop and Pest Report and extension bulletins via print and/or electronic mail list and extension websites, radio interviews, extension meetings, field days, and direct contact with agribusiness representatives and producers. A small network of pheromone traps (6 sites) were coordinated by the IPM Survey program to monitor for European corn borer in 2013.

OUTPUTS: The aim of this project is to increase knowledge of Integrated Pest Management strategies for control of European corn borer and other Lepidopteran insect pests. Some examples include: flight patterns of different voltine populations, degree day development, economic thresholds, insecticide recommendations, insecticide resistance management, use of Bt-corn. I am participating in only one objective as an extension component. Outreach information on Integrated Pest Management of European corn borer and other Lepidopteran pests of corn were disseminated to producers, extension agents, agribusiness representatives and crop consultants in North Dakota. Project findings were distributed through the NDSU Crop and Pest Report and extension bulletins via print and/or electronic mail list and extension websites, radio interviews, extension meetings, field days, and direct contact with agribusiness representatives and producers. A small network of pheromone traps (6 sites) were coordinated to monitor for European corn borer in 2012. However, with the drought in the region during the 2012 growing season, European corn borer populations were extremely low. PARTICIPANTS: Research scientist (PI) is Janet Knodel. Professional Research Specialist involved with the project is Patrick Beauzay. Hands-on training on corn insect pests was conducted at the 2012 Eastern Crop Scout School by Knodel, and some crop consultants in North Central North Dakota ran pheromone traps (6 sites) to monitor for European corn borer in 2012. TARGET AUDIENCES: Target audience includes producers, extension agents, agribusiness representatives and crop consultants in North Dakota, and the North Dakota Corn Council. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts
Pest management knowledge was distributed on of European corn borer through extension outreach media. For example, how to scout and make management decisions for control of European corn borer in field corn. With the increase adoption of Bt corn in North Dakota (about 64% of the total corn acreage), European corn borer populations have continued to decline. This corn borer decline has been related to the area-wide increase in the use of Bt corn in the Midwest. However, the importance of using and planting the refuge with Bt corn continues to be crucial to the corn industry, because the refuge plays a vital role in reducing potentially Bt-resistant populations of European corn borer.
