Non Technical Summary
This EIPM-CS COORDINATION proposal includes a request for support of a Coordination function and Extension IPM programs in the following Program Emphasis Areas: (1) IPM Implementation in Agronomic Crops, (2) IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops, (3) IPM Training and Implementation in Housing. The proposed activities, identified and prioritized through stakeholder input, support the overall goals of the National IPM Roadmap.Specific projects include: documentation and management of insecticide resistant stored grain pests and horn flies; pesticide mediation in commercial greenhouses and nurseries, use of biological control in greenhouses and management of urban pests in public housing. These programs will be delivered in collaboration with faculty and staff and stakeholder groups from Oklahoma, through varied extension educational materials, presentations, demonstrations, surveys and training programs. These efforts will be formally evaluated for effectiveness, impact and adoption. Through this program, we will provide Oklahoma stakeholders with greater knowledge and skills to adopt and implement IPM practices in their businesses, communities and homes.

Goals / Objectives
To suport the implementationthrough program delivery and measure outcomes through assessment of specific projects in the following Program Emphasis Areas: Integrated Pest Management in Agronomic Crops, Specialty crops and Housing. Specifically: to determine phosphine resistance of selected stored grains pests, and provide research-based management options to stakeholders To demonstrate the effectiveness of bioretention cells for nursery operations To demonstrate the effectiveness of banker plants to greenhouse growers. To demonstrate the effectiveness of bedbug managment options to stakeholders involved in public housing
Project Methods
Compare phosphine resistance in stored product insect pests in storage facilities that rely on phosphine for management vs. IPM Present results at at the OSU Elevator and Fumigation workshops, and the Oklahoma Wheat Commission annual meeting Construct bioretention cells and a hands-on demonstration device to educate stakeholders regarding filtration Conduct workshops to demonstrate effectiveness of bioretention cells, and demonstrate technology at industry trade shows Recruit 4 greenhouse production facilities to participate in demonstration of biological control methods Design and host 2 extension workshops to demonstrate key concepts in implementing biological control programs in greenhouses Administer survey to evaluate likelihood of adopting biological control among stakeholders attending our extension workshops Contact participating greenhouse producers 1 and 2 years following the workshops to determine degree of adoption of biological control methods at their facilities Summarize results, identify 3 new public housing authorities to conduct series of workshops on bed bug management Revise / create bed bug management educational materials Revise fact sheet on bed bug management Administer survey to evaluate stakeholder knowledge and value of IPM programs

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? These projects will be continued through the next IPM grant. This was a continuation of the one year grant. Surveys conducted in Oklahoma have identified the extent of phosphine resistance in stored grain pests. 2 refereed publications have been published. Current efforts are directed at including this information into Oklahoma State University's Fumigation Grain workshops that are designed to provide training for fumication certification. These workshops are conducted annualy, and we have ca. 50 attendees. To date, we have identified 2 nursery cooperators that are allowing us to demonstrate the effectiveness of bioretention cells. To date, 2 cooperating greenhouse growers are serving as cooperators for this project. To date, we have presented bed bugs training to more than 300 people for county Public Housing Authorities, and Public Health To date, we have developed 7 videos that demonstrate methods for bed bug control.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? 1,200 grain, cotton, canola and sorlghum producers learned how to manage insect pests. Two varieties of wheat that are resistant to Hessian fly became the most planted varieties in Oklahoma, representing 20% of Oklahoma's 3.5 million acres. Yield savings by grower adoption of these varieties saved more than $1 million in yield losses annually. Canola acres have increased to ca. 200,000 acres annually. Growers experience greater weed control and better wheat yields by rotating canola with wheat. Based on an extension demonstration coordinated by the IPM Crops Insect Pest Management Team, the Emergency registration of sufoxaflor saved Oklahoma sorghum growers ca. $500,000.00 to $700,000.00 in lost grain yield. 120 stakholders learned how to more effeciently manage litter beetles in poultry houses, which cause nearly $700,000 in damage to facilities annually. 50 attendees learned how to reduce the impact of, and manage phosphine resistant stored grains insects. Two nursery cooperators that are allowing us to demonstrate the effectiveness of bioretention cells. Two cooperating greenhouse growers are serving as cooperators for developing the banker plant system. 300 people for county Public Housing Authorities, and Public Health learned how to work with their customers at reducing bedbug infestations. 37 Extension educators were trained on assisting clientel in bedbug managment Participants of the Advanced Master Gardener workshop used a pre and a post-test that evaluated Knowledge, Attitudes and Skills changes of the participants with a Likert Scale where Quality of instruction 1=Very High, 5 = Very low: Instructors were knowledgeable (1.15) Organized (1.28) Responsive (1.21). Were Objectives Met: 1 = Strongly Agree, 5 = Strongly Disagree. the workshop met the objectives (1.20) learned a lot from the workshop (1.31). Understanding, attitude and skills change towards IPM, increased their Understanding of IPM 1=none, 5 = complete ( 2.85 Before, 4.13 After), positive attitude change towards using IPM 1 = not favor, 5 = favor (3.13 Before, 3.69 After). Skills Change (teaching, confidence) 1=low, 5 = high (2.42 Before, 3.64 After).

WE provided a training session for Cooperative Extension Educators at our Annual State Extension Conference, January 23, 2014:Sleep tight: Bed bugs information and education efforts. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Research paper in Journal of Economic Entomology. Results reported to the Oklahoma Crop Improvement Association Results reported to Cooperative Extension Educators: What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? We will conduct a train-the trainer session for bedbug management. We will install biretention cells at two nursery locations. We will summarize responses from greenhouse growers on their banker plant needs.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Insect samples are being obtained and screening for phosphine resistance has begun. Bioretention cells are being constructed. A graduate student has begun to survey greenhouse growers for banker plant needs A media kit for bedbug management and a training kit for use by extension educators is being developed.
