Non Technical Summary
This is an EIP Extension Implementation project. The proposed activities, identified and prioritized through stakeholder input support the overall goals of the National IPM Roadmap and CPPM Focus Areas 1, 2 3 & 5. The proposal includes a request for support of a Coordination function and Extension IPM programs in the following Program Priorities: (1) IPM Implementation in Agronomic Crops, (2) IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops, (3) IPM Training and Implementation in Housing and (4) IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators. 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, IPM Oklahoma! will equip Oklahoma stakeholders with greater knowledge and skills that they can use to adopt and implement IPM practices in their businesses, communities and homes.

Goals / Objectives
Goal: We will develop, deliver and evaluate IPM programs through projects in two Primary Priorities (1) IPM Implementation for Agronomic Crops (3 projects), (2) IPM Implementation for Specialty Crops (3 projects), and two Secondary Priorities: (1) IPM Implementation in Housing (1 project) and (2) IPM Education for Pesticide Applicators (1 project). Through these activities, we will address 4 of 5 CPPM Focus areas: Plant Protection Tactics and Tools, Diversified IPM Systems , IPM for Sustainable Communities, Development of the Next Generation of IPM Scientists. We expect to provide IPM education that will increase knowledge and implementation of IPM through delivery of science-based information in formal and informal settings, demonstrate IPM tools that would be considered "novel" to or unfamiliar to stakeholders so they will be adopted, develop new generational extension scientists and provide IPM educational programs to an underserved audience of Native Americans.Objectives: IPM Implementation of Agronomic Crops(Herbicide Resistant Weeds) Stakeholders will increase their knowledge of the presence of herbicide resistant weeds in Oklahoma, understand basic strategies for their managment, and implement a comprehensive set of management strategies to prevent and manage the development of herbicide-resistant weeds on their properties.(IPM in Smnall grains/Row crops) Stakeholders will increase their knowledge of pest complexes (weeds disease and insects), learn basic research-based strategies for their managment, and adopt IPM strategies for their managment.(Stored Grains) Stakeholders will increase thier knowledge of the presence of phosphine-resistant stored grain pests, understand the benefits of using multiple tools for managing stored-product arthropod pests for resistance management, and adopt IPM strategies for the prevention and management of phosphine resistant pests.Objectives: IPM Implementaiton in Speciaty Crops(IPM with Biofilters in Commercial Nurseries) Stakeholders will learn about the benefits of using biofilters to reduce pestcide runoff, learn how they work and install them as a tool to reduce pesticde runoff.(IPM Using Banker Plants) Stakeholders will learn of how biological control using banker plants can be incorporated into a greenhouse IPM program and selected stakeholders will implement them as a demonstration that can be used for continued learning, with the ultimate goal of increasing the use of biological control in greenhouse production systems.Objectives: IPM for Pesticide Applicators(Bed bug Training Facility) Stakeholders will learn the principles of preventive and corrective IPM tactics for bed bug managment including hands-on-demonstration training on the effective use of heat treatment for control of bed bugs. Stakeholders will incorporate IPM tactics into their control practices which will redult in reducing bed bug infestations in an economically and environmentally responsible way.Objectives: IPM in HousingStakeholders will learn how to identify bed bug infestations, understand bed bug biology, learn preventive tactics for bed bug managment and understand the relationship between bed bugs and healthy homes principles. This will result in reduction of bed bug problems in housing though the use of IPM, which will result in fewer bed bug infestations and reduction in risk to health.
Project Methods
CoordinationStakeholder Engagement will be acomplished through 4 mechanisms: *Statewide IPM Advisory Committee • County Extension District Input: . • DASNR Team Initiative Program • Multi-state Coordination: Regional Information Exchange GroupsThis input will be summarized and discussed via the IPM Advisory committee for direction.Program Delivery will be accomplished via several methods:*Sample reports (weeds, insects)*updates through social media (blogs, twitter)*updtates through news letters*presentations at field days*Presentations at winter crops school*Professional Society*refereed journal articles*news releases*extension publications*demonstration plots*extension in-services*webinars*personal phone and face-to-face individual contacts*pesticide education training*certified crops advisor CEU presentations.*workshops*Invited presenations at Association meetingsProgram Evaluation will be conducted for each Priority and results summerized. An evaluation tool will be developed specifically for each program that is intended to measure Knowledge Change, Attitude Change and Skills Changes. Results will be summarized and provided as impact statements.

Agronomic Crops IPM Herbicide Resistant Weeds project: With the hiring of Dr. Manuchehri, the surveys associated with weed screening have returned. We will conduct one demonstration of weed resistance with an anticipated 50 attendees during the next growing season. Weed management education programs will be delivered at 10 turn-row and winter small grains and row-crops meetings. Outcomes: Target audience will demonstrate knowledge of resistance management, including knowledge of the presence of herbicide resistant-weeds in Oklahoma. IPM in Small Grains and row crops • Management strategies for wheat, canola, sorghum and soybean with cooperators and through the experiment station. • Present IPM information to wheat, canola, cotton sorghum and soybean growers through field days and winter meetings. • Conduct 1-2 no-till demonstrations for weed management. • Conduct evaluations (including economic) of seed treatments and other pest management approaches for managing emerging insect pests in canola, sorghum and wheat • Provide weekly updates on insect pressure/occurrence through the Cotton IPM newsletter (274+ readers) and the ePest Alerts (200+ readers) • Provide pest updates via face to face, phone calls (200-300/year) and Twitter (180+ followers) Outcomes: • Participants will demonstrate understanding of basic strategies for management of insect pests in transgenic cotton • Participants will demonstrate understanding of pest complexes of small grains and row crops in rotated cropping systems and their management. • Adopt IPM techniques to manage emerging pests related to conservation tillage and crop rotations. • All extension fact sheets will be updated to reflect current best IPM practices. IPM in Stored Grains • Assessment of phosphine resistance is finished and information presented to Stored Grain Workshops Outcomes: • Stored grains managers will demonstrate an understanding of how to identify, and manage phosphine resistant pests. • All extension fact sheets will be updated to reflect current best IPM practices. IPM in Specialty Crops IPM using Biofilters in Commercial Nurseries • A summary of data collected from two established biofilters will be used to provide evidence of the effectiveness of this technology for reducing pesticide loads in waterways. • Information on bioretention cells will be offered at industry trade shows (Oklahoma Nursery and Landscape Association) A fact sheet on biofilters will be developed for distribution. Outcomes: Nursery stakeholders will demonstrate an increase in knowledge of bioretention technology. Banker Plant Project: • Monitor development of key arthropod pests, especially aphids, in participating greenhouse facilities • Design and host 1-2 extension workshops to demonstrate effectiveness of banker plants in greenhouse biological control programs for aphids (12-15 attendees) • Evaluate knowledge transfer and adoption of biological control via surveys administered to workshop participants Outcomes: • Workshop participants will demonstrate knowledge of banker plant systems. • Surveys of workshop participants will evaluate likelihood of adoption of biological control methods for managing key pests of greenhouse crops, and results will be presented. A fact sheet will be developed that discusses the implementation of banker plants in greenhouses. IPM for Pesticide Educators Nothing to Report IPM in Housing The IPM in Housing project has matured, and at this time, most publications and supplies have been purchased and used. The project Co-PI will travel to a National meeting to present findings from this program. Requests from Housing authorities to provide educational information will continue to be met. Training materials that need replacing will be purchased and distributed. Outcomes: Participant surveys from past educational meetings regarding knowledge gained will be summarized and presented.
