What was accomplished under these goals?
The IPM Program was coordinated from the main campus as well as the County Extension Office in Philadelphia and the Tree Fruit Research and Education Center. As part of the coordination a web site was maintained, press releases issued and communications maintained among IPM specialists and extension educators. Agronomic crops. We communicated with the agricultural community of Pennsylvania the value of Bt, benefits of using non-Bt corn hybrids,details of pest biology, alternative means of controlling insect pests of corn, and details on the issue of resistance to Bttechnology. This latter topic is particularly relevant because populations of western corn rootworms resistant to Bt hybrids areproliferating in the Midwest, so communicating the situation to Pennsylvania growers reinforces our message of properstewardship of these transgenic technologies in our region. Horticultural IPM. Developed new knowledge of mushroom pest management and provide education programs for growers and farm workers in both English and Spanish. For the fruit industry, we integrated pollinator health into IPM recommendations. These recommendations became part of the Pennsylvania Tree Fruit Production Guide as well as grower education programs. IPM in Housing. We continued to: • Work with core housing partners across the region to increase awareness, knowledge and skills on healthy homes and IPM.Partners include state-level Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs, state Departments of Health, the PADepartment of Health, the National Nursing Centers Consortium, Pennsylvania Asthma Partnership, Philadelphia HealthManagement Corporation and Healthy Housing Solutions. Community and Public Health IPM. Work with urban/suburban communities to increase public awareness and knowledge about pests and pesticides,associated health issues and IPM solutions. Wide-area monitoring provide model and observational output for vegetable growers. The output came from state-based observational sites as well as participation in regional and national information networks.

What was accomplished under these goals?
What was accomplished under these goals?* We communicated with the agricultural community of Pennsylvania the value of Bt, benefits of using non-Bt corn hybrids, details of pest biology, alternative means of controlling insect pests of corn, and details on the issue of resistance to Bt technology. This latter topic is particularly relevant because populations of western corn rootworms resistant to Bt hybrids are proliferating in the Midwest, so communicating the situation to Pennsylvania growers reinforces our message of proper stewardship of these transgenic technologies in our region. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?* Project has discovered and communicated with growers in the region is that insect pest dynamic matter; insect populations change over time, and that alters the pest management landscape as far as the pests that threaten crops, and the most valuable control options. This is relevant for IPM because scouting is the key to understanding local pest population and implementing IPM. This message has been vital for graduate student trainees and extension educators through out the state. IPM in Housing We continued to: • Work with core housing partners across the region to increase awareness, knowledge and skills on healthy homes and IPM. Partners include state-level Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs, state Departments of Health, the PA Department of Health, the National Nursing Centers Consortium, Pennsylvania Asthma Partnership, Philadelphia Health Management Corporation and Healthy Housing Solutions.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?1) Local and state level a) Early Head Start (EHS) Project : Training Head Start program staff influences both the childcare facility and provides outreach via these staff into children's homes. We continued partnerships with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Health Federation of Philadelphia's (HFP) Early Head Start (EHS) programs. b) Norris Square Community Association (NSCA) Project : NCSA provides services and owns real estate in predominately low-income, Spanish-speaking neighborhoods of NE Philadelphia. They own 47 residential units , including 21 town homes, multifamily housing and stand-alone buildings and 5 commercial facilities and 4 childcare centers . 2) National and Regional Level a) Healthy Homes training througout U.S. done by PAIPM staff 4) Community / Health IPM Presentations/Trainings IPM in Childcares, Schools and College Campuses PA IPM staff maintained "healthy schools" partnerships in the state and region via meetings, conference calls, webinars and policy initiatives on school health, providing information and technical support on IPM. IPM in Childcare Centers Besides the previously mentioned Early Head Start and Norris Square staff trainings (see IPM in Housing), we completed and/or assisted in several other projects for childcare environments. 1) PA Academy of Pediatrics, Early Childhood Education Linkage System (ECELS) new "Pest Management; IPM Self- learning Module" for CEUs for childcare staff. PA IPM provided in-depth consultation and review. PA IPM and ECELS staff will co-present at the Early Childhood Education Annual Summit in December 2015. The module can be seen at http://www.ecels-healthychildcarepa.org/professional-development-training/self-learning-modules?start=20 2) Part Five in Better Kid Care Eco-Healthy Childcare series: "Start Your IPM Program Part 2: Implementation" completed, targeting center directors. Content enables directors to move from policy to implementation of their IPM program and provides suggestions for IPM training to educate staff and parents, how to hire a pest management professional and develop IPM action plans for common pests that could enter facilities. As of 6/15/15, 32 directors had taken the 2 hr training with total evaluation scores of 3.7 out of 4.0 possible for quality How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?-Newletter -Twitter -Facebook -Press releases -Updated production guides -Web sites What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?New/on-going Opportunities 1) Newly- formed Philadelphia Bed Bug Task Force Chronic unresolved issues with bed bug management prompted a Philadelphia councilman to initiate a bed bug task force. PA IPM PSCIP staff was and is a key force in organizing, providing committee structure, producing minutes and providing quality information, ideas and outreach assistance. A citywide hearing with 50 in attendance and six follow-up meetings have been held so far. 4) Health and IPM Asthma Partnerships PA IPM staff continues to be deeply involved with PA Asthma Partnership, American Lung Association, School District of Philadelphia (SDP) Asthma Management Committee and PA Department of Health's Asthma Control Program. We attended a total of 14 meetings with these partners, providing IPM expertise for program/policy development, staff training and school and home assessments for pests/IPM solutions to asthma triggers. Outcomes of asthma partnership efforts include : • SDP tasking their inspectors to identify all doors requiring door sweeps to prevent rodent entry and order and install numbers needed district-wide. • The District's new Asthma Management Plan includes IPM and provisions for staff and faculty training on IPM's role in asthma prevention. • Leveraging of funding via new subgrants to PA IPM from both PA Department of Health and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to provide school facility and home IPM assessments for schools/homes known to have individuals suffering from uncontrolled asthma. ($50K total) • Completion of 2 in-depth school environmental IPM assessments in Philadelphia with 6 more to be scheduled and four to bescheduled in Allegheny County

As of 6/15/15, 32 directors had taken the 2 hr training with total evaluation scores of 3.7 out of 4.0 possible for quality of information and implementable content. As of this date, all five on-line lessons in the series have been completed by 5,035 people for a total of 10,070 hrs of training and an average evaluation score of 3.44. To access all lessons, see: https://bkc.vmhost.psu.edu/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=BKC-OnDemand&-loadframes 3) IPM inspection in childcare videos (2) completed and are accessible on our website: http://extension.psu.edu/pests/ipm/schools-childcare/childcare/ipm-childcare-videos One of the videos has been used by a local Orkin franchise on two occasions to train a total of 55 staff at local and regional meetings. . IPM in K-12 Schools 1) IPM and Asthma Initiative : As previously described, PA IPM staff are integrally involved in the School District of Philadelphia's development and implementation of an Asthma Management Plan that includes inspection and prioritization of schools for IPM structural interventions and trainings for all faculty and staff.. Two school IPM Environmental Assessments are complete and 4 additional assessments are planned for the fall in Allegheny County and Philadelphia County. Impacts 154,000 students, 9,621 teachers, and over 20,000 other employees in 360 buildings, 65% of which are over 50 years old. 2) National Healthy Schools Day (4/7/15), PA IPM provided a webinar for Women for a Healthy Environment entitled "Safer Pest Management in Schools: Live, Mice, Bed Bugs and Beyond!") attended by 32 people and archived at http://services.choruscall.com/links/wfahe150407.html Evaluation results show that 90% of participants "learned a great deal", the remaining 10% learned "a lot". 3 ) PA Green & Healthy Schools Partnership : PA IPM staff participates in this statewide partnership in collaboration with EPA, PA Dept of Education, PA Dept of Health and others. We serve on the Health and Wellness Committee and provide input about inclusion of accurate and achievable IPM policies and practices as part of healthy school efforts. During this period our staff met/conference called 10 times with either a subcommittee or the full group. IPM on College/University Campus During this project period, PA IPM Program staff continued to meet bi-weekly with the Penn State University Environmental Health and Safety's (EHS) IPM Subcommittee. The committee includes the EHS director, key directors of housing, food service, buildings, operations and pest control contractor. The committee's purpose is to increase the implementation of IPM on campus buildings and grounds while effectively eliminating pests with least risk to campus human populations. 1) LEED Standards for IPM in Buildings. Completed top tier IPM Plan for University Park Campus in April 2015 in accordance with LEED Certification Standards for buildings, including specified restrictions on pesticide use in favor of least toxic products if needed.

Agronomic Crop IPM extension program ? -Our black cutworm trapping network identified across Pennsylvania 10 significant flights of black cutworm moths. As a result, we notified growers that their corn crops were at a higher risk of cutting damage from black cutworm caterpillars. This widespread warning, which we distributed via email newsletters and farm media outlets, gave growers an early warning to get out an scout their crop fields for cutworm populations, rather than spraying fields indiscriminately for this sporadic pest species. -We have also established a western bean cutworm trapping network that is currently capturing moths. We will use these data to inform growers the risk this newer pest species poses to their corn fields. -To understand the risk posed to soybean fields by early season secondary pests and the associated value of neonicotinoid seed treatments, we scouted 24 soybean fields (half that were planted with neonicotinoid seed treatments, half we planted without these seed treatments). We found very few pest species (
